AI and ML for Microscopy - Hackathon

AI and ML for Microscopy - Hackathon

December 16, 2024| Hybrid -- On site location: IAMM HQ Building, Room 147, 2641 Osprey Vista Way, Knoxville, TN 37920

The hackathon is open to everyone, regardless of background or experience. Our North Star goal is to build the bridge between microscopy and machine learning communities. For microscopists, we welcome participation from all field - electron, scanning probe, chemical imaging, and all stages of the microscope workflow from sample selection to microscope optimization, data analytics, in-line analysis, automated experimentation, and interpretation. From machine learning community, we welcome experts in image analysis, optimization, and active learning. Let’s build the window between machine learning and nanoscale world together!
