Researcher from India Develops AI for More Efficient Cell Segmentation
Images of segmented cells are of enormous importance for biomedical research and diagnostics. And extremely expensive. Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now capable of cell segmentation, it needs to be trained with large quantities of data, which experts must label manually. Within the context of the “Sustainable Life-Cycle of Intelligent Socio-Technical Systems” (SAIL) research project, doctoral candidate Eiram Mahera Sheikh conducts research at HSBI to find out how this process can be sped up efficiently. She thus uses AI – more precisely, Deep Active Learning – as early as in the preparation of training data.

A Warm Welcome at HSBI: How a Fungus Researcher from Brazil Arrives in Bielefeld
The International Office’s Welcome Center supports international researchers who come to HSBI. Thanks to the assistance provided by Maximilian Köster, Daniela Milanez Silva from São Paulo made it through the organisational jungle of offices, banks and telephone companies – and was thus able to quickly devote herself to her actual topic: the technical investigation of fungi used as natural pesticides. Daniela deliberately chose Bielefeld because Prof. Dr. Anant Patel, Vice President for Research and Development at HSBI, has been conducting research and publishing in the field of natural pest control for many years. “At HSBI, I have just the right equipment for drying the fungi, which I lack at the university in Brazil,” Daniela Milanez Silva explains.
