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

TL;DR: A molecular-clock analysis indicates that glacial events may have played a role in speciation and the origin of population structure in the D. sandiegensis species complex, possibly through climate-driven vicariant events.

Tumour necrosis factor alpha promotes secretion of 14-3-3η by inducing necroptosis in macrophages

TL;DR: Macrophages that highly express 14-3-3η undergo TNF-α-induced necroptosis with damage to the cellular structure, resulting in the secretion of 14-1-3 η into the extracellular space, providing a novel mechanism for 14-2-2η level increase in the RA synovial fluid.

Generalized Multiscale RBF Networks and the DCT for Breast Cancer Detection
TL;DR: The use of the multiscale generalized radial basis function (MSRBF) neural networks for image feature extraction and medical image analysis and classification is proposed for the first time and it is found that the MSRBF networks are able to build tailored and precise image models and, combined with the DCT, to extract high-quality features from both black and white and coloured images.
