TLDR
The main focus in MUCKE is on cleaning large scale Web image corpora and on proposing image representations which are closer to the human interpretation of images.Abstract:
MUCKE aims to mine a large volume of images, to structure them conceptually and to use this conceptual structuring in order to improve large-scale image retrieval. The last decade witnessed important progress concerning low-level image representations. However, there are a number problems which need to be solved in order to unleash the full potential of image mining in applications. The central problem with low-level representations is the mismatch between them and the human interpretation of image content. This problem can be instantiated, for instance, by the incapability of existing descriptors to capture spatial relationships between the concepts represented or by their incapability to convey an explanation of why two images are similar in a content-based image retrieval framework. We start by assessing existing local descriptors for image classification and by proposing to use co-occurrence matrices to better capture spatial relationships in images. The main focus in MUCKE is on cleaning large scale Web image corpora and on proposing image representations which are closer to the human interpretation of images. Consequently, we introduce methods which tackle these two problems and compare results to state of the art methods. Note: some aspects of this deliverable are withheld at this time as they are pending review. Please contact the authors for a preview.read more

A Genetic Screen in Drosophila for Genes Interacting With senseless During Neuronal Development Identifies the Importin moleskin
Kathryn L. Pepple,Aimee E. Anderson,Benjamin J. Frankfort,Benjamin J. Frankfort,Graeme Mardon +4 more
TL;DR: Reminiscent of the Sens mutant phenotype, msk eyes demonstrate reductions in the number of R8 photoreceptors due to an R8 to R2,5 fate switch, providing genetic evidence that Msk is a component of the sens pathway.

Phosphatidylinositol (4, 5)-bisphosphate targets double C2 domain protein B to the plasma membrane.
TL;DR: It is shown that PI(4, 5)P2 hydrolysis at the PM of living cells abolishes DOC2B translocation, whereas manipulations of t‐SNAREs and other phosphoinositides have no effect and the data suggest that the Ca2+‐triggered translocation ofDOC2B is diffusion‐driven and aimed at PI( 4, 5]P2‐containing membranes.
