Unlock Limitless Possibilities with HALO AI

HALO AI has you covered. Whether you’re looking to solve image analysis challenges in segmentation, classification, or phenotyping, the advanced deep learning networks of HALO AI are easily tuned for your specific application with the train-by-example interface.

 

Simple & Intuitive Workflow

HALO AI is fully integrated with the intuitive, easy-to-use HALO® and HALO Link platforms and employs a simple three-step workflow. After defining tissue classes or cell phenotypes, you train the neural network by drawing annotations – no computer programming or AI knowledge required. 

Define Classes

Train Network

Apply Classifier

Choose to integrate your trained HALO AI networks in multiple locations within HALO modules to perform functions including tissue classification, nuclear and membrane segmentation, and phenotyping. Alternatively, apply HALO AI directly to an entire study of whole slide images or to select regions of interest – the choice is yours.

Manage Variability

Extreme variability runs rife in image analysis but is no match for HALO AI. Common sources of variability include diverse morphologies, alterations of morphologies from staining protocols, differences in tissue quality, uneven staining, and more.

HALO AI can be easily trained to accommodate variability to deliver accurate segmentation and classification results across large studies. HALO AI can even be trained to work across vastly different stains such as PAMS, Trichrome, H&E, and IHC.

Powerful Tissue Classification

The degree of variability encountered in pathology often demands an approach above and beyond a simple random forest tissue classifier.

HALO AI has two advanced pre-trained networks capable of creating high-resolution classifiers in brightfield and fluorescence, depending on how much training data and time are available for training and optimization.

Advanced Phenotyping

Cell phenotyping can be used on any of the myriad supported image types to automatically assign cells into user defined phenotypes. Simply select a nuclear or membrane segmentation network, provide a few quick training examples, and train the network to identify phenotypes of interest.

Phenotyping is a highly effective and flexible tool to quantify cells based on morphology when biomarker information is absent and can assist with quantification and characterization of cells with complex morphologies, such as neuronal cells.

Great results, can't live without this instrument!

"Scientists can achieve lots of high-quality analysis data about figures by HALO software. Many functions of HALO are very helpful to study images, such as TMA, spatial analysis, high-Plex FL, and especially HALO AI. It is easy to operate. Its interface is simple, friendly, and convenient. Once we have problems, a Halo technician is able to help us to solve them in time."

Advancing Discovery with AI: Features of HALO AI

Use real-time tuning in HALO AI to watch a network as it trains in real time. Toggle the mark up on and off to evaluate performance, choose to add training data, or change parameters on-the-fly.

Once a HALO AI model is trained, a probability map can be used as an alternative output to a traditional mask to evaluate performance. Use real-time tuning to select an appropriate probability cut-off for a given class and view the output in a heatmap where blue represents the lowest probability and red the highest.

Investigate results with interactive markup images where you can toggle on and off each population of interest. Interactive markups can be combined with probability thresholding and are especially valuable in exploring validation outputs.

Collaborate on the development of AI using the HALO Link collaborative image management platform. Simply invite your colleagues to a study and have them add training data.

 

Leverage the three-part Train – Validate – Test workflow to address the question: How good is my HALO AI classifier? Quantitative metrics are output based on the type of network.
