Deep learning predicts hematopoietic stem cell development
(PHYSorg.com Biology)

Autonomous driving, automatic speech recognition, and the game Go: Deep Learning is generating more and more public awareness. Scientists at the Helmholtz Zentrum München and their partners at ETH Zurich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now used it to determine the development of hematopoietic stem cells in advance. In `Nature Methods` they describe how their software predicts the future cell type based on microscopy images.
