The microscope is the mask: privileged views and labels from a cryo-ET forward model
We explore the use of simulated data for training a model for protein annotation in crowded cryo-electron tomography volumes reconstructed from images collected at limited tilt angles and severely corrupted by the measurement operator. Firstly, we leverage the corruptions imposed by the forward model to generate domain-specific augmented paired views of the exact same scene for an invariance objective integrated into the LeJEPA self-supervised training framework. Secondly, we use additional information from the simulation pipeline such as the positions and identity of proteins in the simulated volumes to inform the architecture of the model and the loss function, so that semantic informat...
