If you run self-supervised learning on datasets where each individual image or volume is large, you have to keep your batches fairly small. Konstantinos Almpanakis from our lab found a way to train even in batches of 1, he will present it tomorrow at #ECCV2026!

We are looking for an experienced light microscopy specialist, motivated to support our users in the Advanced Light Microscopy Facility at EMBL Heidelberg. embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j... -closing date 11 May 2026 @eurobioimaging.bsky.social @globalbioimaging.bsky.social
