Hierarchical AI enables global interpretation of culture plates in the era of digital microbiology
In this 2023 paper published in Nature Communications, Signoroni et al. present the results of their efforts towards a system designed for "the global interpretation of diagnostic bacterial culture plates" using deep learning architecture. Noting the many challenges of human-based culture interpretation, the authors present the results of DeepColony," a hierarchical multi-network capable of handling all identification, quantitation, and interpretation stages, from the single colony to the whole plate level." After reviewing the results, the authors conclude that given the "high level of agreement" between DeepColony's results and the interpretation of humans, their system holds significant promise. They add that DeepColony can be viewed as "a unique framework for improving the efficiency and quality of massive routine activities and high-volume decisional procedures in a microbiological laboratory, with great potential to refine and reinforce the critical role of the microbiologist."
