Glossary

Applied AI and imaging terms, explained.

Plain-language definitions for the applied AI, imaging, and cell line development terms used across TEK Optima Research and the DeepInsight® platform.

Applied AI

Artificial intelligence built for a specific real-world problem or workflow, rather than general-purpose AI.

Neural network

A machine-learning model made of connected layers of parameters that learn patterns from data.

Computer vision

The field of extracting information and making decisions from images and video.

Image segmentation

Dividing an image into regions or objects, such as individual cells or colonies.

Object detection

Locating and classifying objects within an image, such as cells in a microplate well.

Cell Line Development (CLD)

The process of generating and selecting stable, high-producing cell lines for biologics manufacturing.

Imaging pipeline

The sequence of processing steps that turns raw images into measurements and analysis.

Predictive analytics

Using models to forecast future outcomes from current and historical data.

Data management platform

Systems and workflows for storing, organising, searching, and governing large datasets.

Technology licensing

Granting another organisation rights to use patented or proprietary technology under agreed terms.
