SiliCoN: Simultaneous Nuclei Segmentation and Color Normalization of Histological Images
Segmentation of nuclei regions from histological images is an important task for automated computer-aided analysis of histological images, particularly in the presence of impermissible color variation in the color appearance of stained tissue images. While color normalization enables better nuclei segmentation, accurate segmentation of nuclei structures makes color normalization rather trivial. In this respect, the paper proposes a novel deep generative model for simultaneously segmenting nucle…

It was obvious, if you thought about it, that the second Trump administration would be hostile to science and intellectual endeavor in general.
After all, look at some key elements of the MAGA coalition.
Fossil fuel interests don’t want anyone studying climate change.
Conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones make much of their money selling quack medical remedies, which makes them hostile to conventional medicine.
(And partisan orientation became a key factor determinin…

Nobody Expected the MAGA Inquisition
But it’s here, and will destroy American science

As promised, the @… fundraising campaign seems to be storming ahead, so here's a new - and rather hastily edited - video from NW #Greenland fieldwork just up on @… Just in case anyone finds it interesting and fun. I made this in shotcut. At some point I'll work out how to annotate them properly I guess...
Enjoy!

Real-time adaptive tracking of fluctuating relaxation rates in superconducting qubits
The fidelity of operations on a solid-state quantum processor is ultimately bounded by decoherence effects induced by a fluctuating environment. Characterizing environmental fluctuations is challenging because the acquisition time of experimental protocols limits the precision with which the environment can be measured and may obscure the detailed structure of these fluctuations. Here we present a real-time Bayesian method for estimating the relaxation rate of a qubit, leveraging a classical co…

It’s hard for me to explain just how disruptive it’s been to be without a reliable and trustworthy browser or password manager, recently.
I can’t believe it’s 2025 and I can’t find either of those, and I spend so much time trying to make this experience as good as I know it can be, from the before-everything-got-hostile times.
I’m so tired.

Deep histological synthesis from mass spectrometry imaging for multimodal registration
Registration of histological and mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) allows for more precise identification of structural changes and chemical interactions in tissue. With histology and MSI having entirely different image formation processes and dimensionalities, registration of the two modalities remains an ongoing challenge. This work proposes a solution that synthesises histological images from MSI, using a pix2pix model, to effectively enable unimodal registration. Preliminary results show prom…

Optimal Transport Driven Asymmetric Image-to-Image Translation for Nuclei Segmentation of Histological Images
Segmentation of nuclei regions from histological images enables morphometric analysis of nuclei structures, which in turn helps in the detection and diagnosis of diseases under consideration. To develop a nuclei segmentation algorithm, applicable to different types of target domain representations, image-to-image translation networks can be considered as they are invariant to target domain image representations. One of the important issues with image-to-image translation models is that they fai…
