BisQue Deep Learning Cyberinfrastructure
(NSF CSSI-241153)
Bio-Image Semantic Query User Environment — store, visualize, organize, and analyze images in the cloud.
BisQue is an open-source platform for managing, exploring, and analyzing large-scale scientific multimodal data. BisQue combines images with structured metadata, annotations, sensor and experimental measurements, derived data products, models, workflows, and provenance. Its scalable web-services architecture supports data organization and search, interactive visualization, distributed storage, high-throughput analysis, and reproducible execution across diverse scientific domains.
