Abstract

The principal observed progressive swim types of sperm cells are linear mean and circular swim. Using motility characteristic parameters produced by CASA systems, we perform a parameter subset search to produce distinct clusters of the different swim types. For this task, the artificial bee colony algorithm (an iterative search algorithm modeled after the collective behavior of bees) and the well-studied k-means clustering algorithm were used on simulated and human sperm swim data. The result is distinct clusters with features of each types of swim. The clustering approach displays potential as a tool for automated sperm swim subpopulation analysis.
