Multi-Task Deep Learning with Dynamic Programming for Embryo Early Development Stage Classification from Time-Lapse Videos
Time-lapse is a technology used to record the development of embryos during in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Accurate classification of embryo early development stages can provide embryologists valuable information for assessing the embryo quality, and hence is critical to the success of IVF. This paper proposes a multi-task deep learning with dynamic programming (MTDL-DP) approach for this purpose. It first uses MTDL to pre-classify each frame in the time-lapse video to an embryo development stage, and then DP to optimize the stage sequence so that the stage number is monotonically non-decreasing, which usually holds in practice. Different MTDL frameworks, e.g., one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many, are investigated. It is shown that the one-to-many MTDL framework achieved the best compromise between performance and computational cost. To our knowledge, this is the first study that applies MTDL to embryo early development stage classification from time-lapse videos.

Quantitative analysis of the dynamics of maternal gradients of the early Drosophila embryo
The predetermination, formation and maintenance of the primary morphogenetic gradient (bicoid gradient) of the early Drosophila embryo involves many interrelated processes. Here we focus on a system-biological analysis o…
Studying evolution of the primary body axis in vivo and in vitro
The metazoan body plan is established during early embryogenesis via collective cell rearrangements and evolutionarily conserved gene networks, as part of a process commonly referred to as gastrulation. While substantial…
DiversityEmbryo staging with weakly-supervised region selection and dynamically-decoded predictions
To optimize clinical outcomes, fertility clinics must strategically select which embryos to transfer. Common selection heuristics are formulas expressed in terms of the durations required to reach various developmental m…

During mammalian embryo development, reprogramming of DNA methylation plays important roles in the erasure of parental epigenetic memory and the establishment of na\"{i}ve pluripogent cells. Multiple enzymes that regulat…
Speed and fate diversity tradeoff in nematode's early embryogenesis
Nematode species are well-known for their invariant cell lineage pattern during development. Combining knowledge about the fate specification induced by asymmetric division and the anti-correlation between cell cycle len…
