DeepTrack2 is a flexible and scalable Python library designed to generate physics-based synthetic microscopy datasets for training deep learning models. It supports a wide range of imaging modalities, including brightfield, fluorescence, darkfield, and holography, enabling the creation of synthetic samples that accurately replicate real experimental conditions. Its modular architecture empowers users to customize optical systems, incorporate optical aberrations and noise, simulate diverse objects across various imaging scenarios, and apply image augmentations. DeepTrack2 is accompanied by a dedicated GitHub page, providing extensive documentation, examples, and an active community for support and collaboration: https://github.com/DeepTrackAI/DeepTrack2.

Graphs are used to model complex relationships, such as interactions between particles or connections between brain regions. The structural complexity and variability of graphs pose challenges to their efficient analysis and classification. Here, we propose GAUDI (Graph Autoencoder Uncovering Descriptive Information), a graph autoencoder that addresses these challenges. GAUDI is trained in an unsupervised manner to capture the most critical parameters of graphs in the latent space, thereby enabling the extraction of essential parameters characterizing the graphs. We demonstrate the performance of GAUDI across diverse graph data originating from complex systems, including the estimation of the parameters of Watts-Strogatz graphs, the classification of protein assembly structures from single-molecule localization microscopy data, the analysis of collective behaviors, and correlations between brain connections and age. This approach offers a robust framework for efficiently analyzing and interpreting complex graph data, facilitating the extraction of meaningful patterns and insights across a wide range of applications.
