  "summary": "Cell tracking in time-lapse images is complex image analysis that involves detection, linking and proofreading, often requiring the algorithm to be tuned for every new dataset. We present Automahout, an autonomous agent for the Mastodon/ELEPHANT platform that carries out these operations. It looks at the data and tries existing models; where none fits, it annotates reference cells, trains a…",
