OpenAI has agreed to buy Glass Imaging, a smartphone camera software company, for a reported $300 million. The startup was founded by two former Apple engineers who had led work on Portrait Mode. The deal appears aimed at strengthening OpenAI's imaging and hardware capabilities.
A new study examines how to classify blood cells and their aggregates imaged by deformability cytometry, a high-throughput imaging flow cytometry technique that measures cellular stiffness alongside properties like area and elongation. The researchers compare multi-label and multi-class machine learning approaches for identifying individual cells and clusters within microfluidic channels. The work aims to determine which labeling scheme better captures cases where multiple cell types or aggregates appear in a single measurement.
