hi, Yashar here (one of the authors). These NNs were really fast to train. A day or so. We trained them on half a million simulated images. Then they're good to go for the analysis of any new data. We don't need to keep on training them as we get more data.

How long did it take you to get them to train in a day?
surprisingly not that long. We started this in Feb without any expectation that it would work at all, and after 2-3 weeks of playing with things they were working great.
I love how machine learning went to statistical learning and then back to machine learning. Playing is exactly the word to describe the discovery process.
