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

B cell–derived IL-4 acts on podocytes to induce proteinuria and foot process effacement
Alfred H.J. Kim,Jun-Jae Chung,Shreeram Akilesh,Ania Koziell,Sanjay Jain,Jeffrey B. Hodgin,Mark J. Miller,Thaddeus S. Stappenbeck,Jeffrey H. Miner,Andrey S. Shaw +9 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the role of B cells in nephrotic syndrome could be mediated by cytokines, and IL-4 or IL-13 exposure in patients with minimal change disease patients is suggested.

TL;DR: This work proposes a variant of the KL divergence, named decision cognizant Kullback–Leibler divergence (DC-KL), to reduce the contribution of the minority classes, which obscure the true degree of classifier incongruence.

Heazlewood,Joshua L. Heazlewood,Francisca Reyes,Ariel Orellana +17 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that this UDP-GlcA transporter plays a key role defining the seed mucilage sugar composition and that its absence produces pleiotropic effects in this component of the plant extracellular matrix.
