A function for all posterior Hoxd genes during digit development?

Denis Duboule, Saskia Joëlle Delpretti Anex, Jozsef Zakany

Background: Four posterior Hoxd genes, from Hoxd13 to Hoxd10, are collectively regulated during the development of tetrapod digits. Besides the well-documented role of Hoxd13, the function of the neighboring genes has been difficult to evaluate due to the ...

Active Learning of Multi-Index Function Models

Volkan Cevher, Hemant Tyagi

We consider the problem of actively learning \textit{multi-index} functions of the form

f(x) = g(Ax)= \sum_{i=1}^k g_i(a_i^Tx)

from point evaluations of

f

. We assume that the function

f

is defined on an

\ell_2

-ball in

\Real^d

,

g

is twice contin ...

No peanut! Affective Cues for the Virtual Bartender

Stéphane Gobron, Junghyun Ahn

The aim of this paper are threefold: it explores methods for the detection of affective states in text, it presents the usage of such affective cues in a conversational system and it evaluates its effectiveness in a virtual reality setting. Valence and aro ...

Distributed Constraint Optimization under Stochastic Uncertainty

Boi Faltings, Thomas Léauté

In many real-life optimization problems involving multiple agents, the rewards are not necessarily known exactly in advance, but rather depend on sources of exogenous uncertainty. For instance, delivery companies might have to coordinate to choose who shou ...

SeMiTri: A Framework for Semantic Annotation of Heterogeneous Trajectories

Karl Aberer, Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty

GPS devices allow recording the movement track of the moving object they are attached to. This data typically consists of a stream of spatio-temporal (x,y,t) points. For application purposes the stream is transformed into finite subsequences called {\em tr ...

Evaluation of Participants in Group-discussions on Twitter

Utkarsh Upadhyay

We provide intuitive, objective and reliable metrics for evaluating the participants of a discussion based on a basic set of roles. This method can be applied to any temporally ordered discussion transcript. We show that it is possible to partially automat ...

Evaluating Cases in Legal Disputes as Rival Theories

Jingshi Li

In this paper we propose to draw a link from the quantitative notion of coherence, previously used to evaluate rival scientific theories, to legal reasoning. We evaluate the stories of the plaintiff and the defendant in a legal case as rival theories by me ...

Virtual Environment to Evaluate Multimodal Feedback Strategies for Augmented Navigation of the Visually Impaired

Hannes Bleuler, Solaiman Shokur, Roger Gassert, Masayuki Hara

Abstract— This paper proposes a novel experimental environ- ment to evaluate multimodal feedback strategies for augmented navigation of the visually impaired. The environment consists of virtual obstacles and walls, an optical tracking system and a simple ...

Fast Bounding Box Estimation based Face Detection

Sébastien Marcel, Venkatesh Bala Subburaman

The sliding window approach is the most widely used technique to detect an object from an image. In the past few years, classifiers have been improved in many ways to increase the scanning speed. Apart from the classifier design (such as cascade), the scan ...
