Image analysis in ML pipelines for biology: a maths-and-plots guide

Biological image analysis is where measurement meets models. A microscope image is not “just pixels”: it’s a noisy sampling of an underlying biological scene (cells, nuclei, organelles), transformed by optics, staining, sensor noise, and experimental variability.

Random Forests vs Gaussian Processes: A Practical Maths-First Comparison

Random Forests and Gaussian Processes (GPs) are both powerful non‑parametric models (models that don’t fix a single, limited functional form in advance) for regression and classification, but they come from very different mathematical worlds.
