Label-free prediction has emerged as a significant application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of bioimaging, which aims to predict the localization of specific organelles directly from readily-accessible transmitted-light images, thereby alleviating the need for acquiring fluorescent images. Despite the existence of numerous research, in practice, the high variability in imaging conditions, modalities, and resolutions poses a challenge to the final prediction. In this study, we propose a "Bag-of-Experts" strategy, targeting at different organelles, with self-supervised pre-training. The comprehensive experimentation showcases that our model is agnostic to the transmitted-light image modalities and the imaging conditions, to certain extent, indicating considerable generalizability.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
