Ambiance in Social Media Venues: Visual Cue Interpretation by Machines and Crowds

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Gülcan Can, Yassir Benkhedda

We study the perception of ambiance of places captured in social media images by both machines and crowdworkers. This task is challenging due to the subjective nature of the ambiance construct as well as the large variety in layout, style, and visual chara ...

Injectable, self-opening, and freestanding retinal prosthesis for fighting blindness made of conjugated polymers

Diego Ghezzi, Kevin Sivula, Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi, Laura Ferlauto

Fighting blindness with retinal prostheses requires challenges not yet achieved: implanting a prosthesis (i) large enough to cover the retinal surface and (ii) embedding a high number of highly dense stimulatory elements. We developed an injectable, self-o ...

Gene editing in photoreceptor progenitors prevents visual function loss in a mouse model of retinal degeneration

Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni

Purpose:Currently, there is no known cure for Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Even if some treatments can slow down the progression of the disease, none of them can effectively stop retinal degeneration. We exploited the possibility of an early intervention in ...
