description The application of deep learning (DL) approaches to the study of particle diffusion is becoming increasingly widespread, achieving highly accurate predictive performance that is often challenging to attain with traditional analytical tools. DL has made successful incursions in the field of single-particle tracking of biological molecules in 2- and 3-dimensional spaces. In this work, we introduce a WaveNet-based deep neural network (WadNet)- and convolution-based DL network coined Wad temporal convolutional networks (WadTCN) and its transformer-based variant to decode single-value or pointwise prediction of dynamic properties of bidimensional trajectories. We trained WadTCN to be tested in all 1st and 2nd Andi Challenge tasks with bidimensional trajectories, examined how WadTCN performed when learning is transferred from one network to another to accelerate training, and evaluated its capacity to segment trajectories with a data-driven approach, at variance with other works that rely on mean changes or parameter thresholding to determine change points. WadTCN was further compared to a pure temporal convolutional network and RANDI, a top-performing recurrent neural network in the 1st Andi Challenge. We also assessed the ability of WadTCN to classify and segment single-particle trajectories of a membrane-associated protein, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, in the plane of a live cell plasma membrane.
