| Summary: | Abstract High-content image-based screening is widely used in Drug Discovery and Systems Biology. However, sample preparation artefacts may significantly deteriorate the quality of image-based screening assays. While detection and circumvention of such artefacts could be addressed using modern-day machine learning and deep learning algorithms, this is widely impeded by the lack of suitable datasets. To address this, here we present a purpose-created open dataset of high-content microscopy sample preparation artefact. It consists of high-content microscopy of laboratory dust titrated on fixed cell culture specimens imaged with fluorescence filters covering the complete spectral range. To ensure this dataset is suitable for supervised machine learning tasks like image classification or segmentation we propose rule-based annotation strategies on categorical and pixel levels. We demonstrate the applicability of our dataset for deep learning by training a convolutional-neural-network-based classifier. |
