Cell migration is pivotal for their development, physiology and disease treatment. A single cell on a 2D surface can utilize continuous or discontinuous migration modes. To comprehend the cell migration, an adequate quantification for single cell-based analysis is crucial. An automatized approach could alleviate tedious manual analysis, facilitating large-scale drug screening. Supervised deep learning has shown promising outcomes in computerized microscopy image analysis. However, their implication is limited due to the scarcity of carefully annotated data and uncertain deterministic outputs. We compare three deep learning models to study the problem of learning discriminative morphological representations using weakly annotated data for predicting the cell migration modes. We also estimate Bayesian uncertainty to describe the confidence of the probabilistic predictions. Amongst three compared models, DenseNet yielded the best results with a sensitivity of 87.91% {+/-} 13.22 at a false negative rate of 1.26% {+/-} 4.18.

"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.
