Abstract

Identification of individual sperm is essential to assess a given sperm sample's motility behavior. Existing computer-aided systems need training data based on annotations by professionals, which is resource demanding. On the other hand, data analysed by unsupervised machine learning algorithms can improve supervised algorithms that are more stable for clinical applications. Therefore, unsupervised sperm identification can improve computer-aided sperm analysis systems predicting different aspects of sperm samples. Other possible applications are assessing kinematics and counting of spermatozoa.
