Learn about the project!
Our team developed an artificial intelligence solution that easily recognizes petri dish yeast colonies, in addition to other types of assays. The product is giving researchers more time to focus on their research- rather than time-consuming biological entity counting! It also allows researchers to determine their personal threshold of confidence by controlling the AI’s recognition sensitivity.
The research initiative also provides an opportunity for prospective students to explore various applications of artificial intelligence relevant to their research interests by joining the team!
Pytri Roadmap
2022
AI update
The model is updated to the latest state of the art standard; incorporating faster inference time with increased accuracy.
