Deep-STORM_2D_ZeroCostDL4Mic #350

Description

@shamsghani

The notebook provides misleading instructions in Section 0, stating that users can run inference with a pre-trained Deep-STORM model by selecting "Model_name" in Section 4.2. However:

  • The dropdown menu only includes "Model_from_file", not "Model_name".
  • Manually adding "Model_name" to the parameter fails due to missing download URLs.
  • The wget module used for downloading is not imported in the notebook.
  • There appear to be no public URLs or official sources to download pretrained Deep-STORM models, based on external research.

To Reproduce

  1. Read Section 0 markdown which suggests using a pretrained model.
  2. Go to Section 4.2 where the dropdown only includes "Model_from_file".
  3. Manually change the value of pretrained_model_choice to "Model_name".
  4. Run the cell.
  5. Observe a NameError due to missing wget import.
  6. After importing wget, observe additional errors or silent failures due to wget.download("", ...) having no valid URLs.
  7. Attempting to locate the pretrained Deep-STORM model online yields no usable resource.

Expected behavior
If "Model_name" is referenced in the notebook:

  • It should appear in the dropdown.
  • Valid download URLs should be provided for the model weights and config files.
  • The notebook should include import wget before calling wget.download().
  • Alternatively, if pretrained weights are not publicly available, the markdown and dropdown options should be updated to reflect that.

Additional context
This issue may confuse users into thinking a pretrained model is readily available. However, no official or third-party source currently hosts these weights publicly. The misleading instructions and incomplete code block prevent users from proceeding without training a model from scratch.
