Attention-based domain adaptation for single-stage detectors
While domain adaptation has been used to improve the performance of object detectors when the training and test data follow different distributions, previous work has mostly focused on two-stage detectors. This is because their use of region proposals make ...
SPRINGER2022Analysis of Polycerate Mutants Reveals the Evolutionary Co-option of HOXD1 for Horn Patterning in Bovidae
Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany, Aurélie Hintermann
In the course of evolution, pecorans (i.e., higher ruminants) developed a remarkable diversity of osseous cranial appendages, collectively referred to as "headgear," which likely share the same origin and genetic basis. However, the nature and function of ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2021A method for improving ideas selection in crowdsourcing
This paper presents an early-stage application of the design science research (DSR) method to obtain a new idea selection approach, which uses clustering to filter ideas while taking into account the seeker’s goals and the learning dynamics. Most of previo ...
2019Beyond silence : a functional and evolutionary study of KRAB zinc finger proteins
Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid
Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic units capable of spreading within the genomes of their host. TEs contribute a readily recognizable 45% of the human DNA, reflecting in part their co-option for some as source of protein-coding sequences, for others a ...
EPFL2019The Intellectual Organisation of History
A tradition of scholarship discusses the characteristics of different areas of knowledge, in particular after modern academia compartmentalized them into disciplines. The academic approach is often put to question: are there two or more cultures? Is an eve ...
EPFL2018How synthetic fingerprints can improve pre-selection of MCC pairs using local quality measures
Andrzej Drygajlo, Mohammad Hamed Izadi
A major source of errors in fingerprint recognition systems is poor quality of fingerprints. Local quality of fingerprints plays an important role in these systems to ensure high recognition performance. Recently an improved fingerprint matching method is ...
2015Adaptation decisions and damage costs under uncertainty in an empirical general equilibrium framework
Philippe Thalmann, Frank Vöhringer, Takafumi Usui
Mitigation measures are a priority to avoid irreversible damages to the environment due to climate change. However, additional adaptation efforts will be required to reduce the adverse impacts of projected climate change. While mitigation is more likely to ...
2015Detection of Convergent Genome-Wide Signals of Adaptation to Tropical Forests in Humans
Tropical forests are believed to be very harsh environments for human life. It is unclear whether human beings would have ever subsisted in those environments without external resources. It is therefore possible that humans have developed recent biological ...
Public Library of Science2015Whole genome duplications and recruitment of ecologically relevant genes in alpine Mustards
Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel, Béatrice North
Polyploid taxa represent excellent models to address the underpinnings of genome evolution and the building up of new species in heterogeneous environments. Here, we present an overview of recent works in the alpine Biscutella laevigata autopolyploid compl ...
2015PSII-LHCII Supercomplex Organizations in Photosynthetic Membrane by Coarse-Grained Simulation
Green plant Photosystem II (PSII) and light-harvesting complex II (LHCLI) in the stacked grana regions of thylakoid membranes can self-organize into various PSII LHCII supercomplexes With crystalline Of fluid-like supramolecular structures to adjust themse ...
