Description
Summary:Cell images reconstruction from a subset of the MCF7 image repository is the primary goal of this work. It is implemented through a variational autoencoder: a generative, unsupervised learning paradigm whose architecture consists of an encoder that reduces the dimensionality of the input space by obtaining a distribution over the latent space and a decoder, that rebuilds the inputs from the encoding. This work is completed with the description of the activities associated with the primary goal, like image segmentation and processing and infrastructure setup, the latest driven by automation tools and performed in a cloud environment.
