Abstract
Deep Learning (DL), a subfield of machine learning, is a sophisticated and powerful computer-based tool with superior detection and classification abilities in complex microscopic image analysis (Xinget al. 2018). When implemented by researchers in the field of homeopathy, DL reveals intricacies that elude classical analytics. For example, nanoscale pattern differences exist between ‘succussed under turbulence’ or ‘vortex-mixed succussed’ ultra-high dilutions. The DL models used to obtain these patterns, then demonstrated their versatility by evaluating, cataloguing and distinguishing pattern families (Kokornaczyk et al. 2024, Acuña et al. 2022, 2023). DL also allows for previously unimagined analysis of ultra-high dilutions which, as part of a suite of analytical techniques, can characterise and differentiate homeopathic remedies by the nature of their initial physical substances and their level of potentisation (Berghian-Grosan et al. 2024).
