Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Single-cell analysis is increasingly popular in the field of biology, enabling more precise analyses of heterogeneous phenomena, particularly in the fields of embryology and the study of different diseases. At the heart of this evolution is video microscopy, an ancient but revolutionary technique. From its first use on embryos, through the study of C. Elegans, with the development of algorithms for its automation, the history of video microscopy has been fascinating. Unfortunately, many unresolved issues remain, such as the sheer volume of data produced and the quality of the images taken. The aim of this review is to explore the past, present and future of this technique, which could become indispensable in recent decades, to understand cell fate and how diseases affect their destiny.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
