The present disclosure relates to techniques for segmenting and detecting cells within image data using transfer learning and a multi-task scheduler. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to accessing a plurality of images of one or more cells, extracting three labels from the plurality of images, where the three labels are extracted using a Voronoi transformation, a local clustering, and application of repel code, training, by a multi-task scheduler, a convolutional neural network model based on three loss functions corresponding to the three labels, generating, by the convolutional neural network model, a nuclei probability map and a background probability map for each of the plurality of images based on the training with the three loss functions, and providing the nuclei probability map and the background probability map.
