Recently, deep learning approaches have become the main research frontier for biological image reconstruction problems thanks to their high performance, along with their ultra-fast reconstruction times. However, due to the difficulty of obtaining mat
ched reference data for supervised learning, there has been increasing interest in unsupervised learning approaches that do not need paired reference data. In particular, self-supervised learning and generative models have been successfully used for various biological imaging applications. In this paper, we overview these approaches from a coherent perspective in the context of classical inverse problems, and discuss their applications to biological imaging.
