Currently, analysis of microscopic In Situ Hybridization images is done
manually by experts. Precise evaluation and classification of such microscopic
images can ease experts' work and reveal further insights about the data. In
this work, we propose a deep-learning framework to detect and classify areas of
microscopic images with similar levels of gene expression. The data we analyze
requires an unsupervised learning model for which we employ a type of
Artificial Neural Network - Deep Learning Autoencoders. The model's performance
is optimized by balancing the latent layers' length and complexity and
fine-tuning hyperparameters. The results are validated by adapting the
mean-squared error (MSE) metric, and comparison to expert's evaluation.Comment: 9 pages; 9 figure
