Abstract
Our ability to understand and control stem cell biology is being augmented by developments on two fronts, our ability to collect more data describing cell state and our capability to comprehend these data using deep learning models. Here we consider the impact deep learning will have in the future of stem cell research. We explore the importance of generating data suitable for these methods, the requirement for close collaboration between experimental and computational researchers, and the challenges we face to do this fairly and effectively. Achieving this will ensure that the resulting deep learning models are biologically meaningful and computationally tractable.
