[[https://synchrotron.uj.edu.pl|SOLARIS]] National Synchrotron Radiation Centre is a research facility that provides high quality synchrotron light. To control such a complex system it is necessary to monitor signals from various devices and subsystems. Anomaly detection prevents from financial loss, unplanned downtimes and in extreme cases cause damage. As artificial intelligence techniques including machine learning and deep neural networks have become state-of-the-art solutions for anomaly detection tasks which are one of the most challenging in data analysis, our team conducts research on the use of them for anomaly detection in multivariate diagnostic signals. The research topics include: * data mining and preparation * data preprocessing * CNN architectures building Team members involved: * M. Piekarski * J. Jaworek-Korjakowska ==== Detection and analysis of patterns ==== ==== Cell detection ==== To improve speed and quality of testing new drugs against Clostridium difficile infection, we developed an algorithm for automatic bacteria cytotoxicity classification. It was based on two kinds of fluorescence images - DAPI and GFP. We experimented with many different methods from classical image processing and machine learning algorithms to convolutional neural networks. This research was was conducted in cooperation with Stanford University. The research topics include: * fluorescence images * image processing * sharing information from different images * convolutional neural networks Team members involved: * J. Jaworek-Korjakowska * A. Brodzicki ==== Bacteria response clustering ==== Newly opened project, in cooperation with Stanford University. The main idea is to analyse bacteria reaction in response to different serums. The research topics include: * data clustering * bacteria response analysis Team members involved: * J. Jaworek-Korjakowska * A. Brodzicki ==== Reconstructing images' missing areas with generative models ==== The research topics include: * reconstruction * generative learning * GANs * autoencoders Team members involved: * J.
