Abstract We statistically analyze empirical plug-in estimators for unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) formalisms, focusing on the Kantorovich–Rubinstein distance, between general intensity measures based on observations from

Authors Teuber C, Archit A, Boothe T, Ditte P, Rink J, Pape C Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2603.19802. Abstract Deep learning underlies most modern approaches and tools in computer vision, including biomedical imaging. However, for interactive semantic segmentation (often called pixel classification in this context) and interactive object-level classification (object classification),

Abstract The retina encodes a broad range of stimuli, adapting its computations to features like brightness, contrast, and

Authors Archit A, Pape C Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2603.17845. Abstract Cell segmentation is a fundamental task in microscopy image analysis. Several foundation models for cell segmentation have been introduced, virtually all of them are extensions of Segment Anything Model (SAM), improving it for microscopy data. Recently, SAM2 and SAM3 have

Abstract Mechanoreceptors can be motile and actively amplify their mechanical input.1,2,3,4 We here found that the responses of mechanoreceptor cells can also be shaped actively by contractile supporting

Authors Müller GF, Göpel T, Scherf N, Huisken J. Journal Frontiers in Bioinformatics Citation Front Bioinform. 2026 Mar 10;6:1757489. Abstract Variation is a foundational biological principle that has historically been marginalized-both due to limited experimental accessibility and because of idealized, stereotypic blueprints rooted in essentialist thinking. With the advent of
