Abstract
Efficient and high-accuracy filtering of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) micrographs is an emerging challenge with the growing speed of data collection and sizes of datasets. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are machine learning models that have been proven successful in many computer vision tasks, and have been previously applied to cryo-EM micrograph filtering. In this work, we demonstrate that two strategies, fine-tuning models from pretrained weights and including the power spectrum of micrographs as input, can greatly improve the attainable prediction accuracy of CNN models. The resulting software package, Miffi, is open-source and freely available for public use (https://github.com/ando-lab/miffi).
