Validation strategies for the interpretation of microstructure imaging using diffusion MRI

Giorgio Innocenti, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

Extracting microanatomical information beyond the image resolution of MRI would provide valuable tools for diagnostics and neuroscientific research. A number of mathematical models already suggest microstructural interpretations of diffusion MRI (dMRI) dat ...

Modeling of transcription mechanisms in mammals from kinetic measurements in single cells

Benjamin Zoller

In mammals, transcription was observed to occur predominantly in bursts, resulting from short and intense periods of gene transcription interspersed by longer silent periods. In order to elucidate the causes and the consequences of discontinuous transcript ...

Speaking Swiss: Languages and Venues in Foursquare

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Darshan Santani

Due to increasing globalization, urban societies are becoming more multicultural. The availability of large-scale digital mobility traces e.g. from tweets or checkins provides an opportunity to explore multiculturalism that until recently could only be add ...

Assessing the Accuracy of Discourse Connective Translations: Validation of an Automatic Metric

Andrei Popescu-Belis

Automatic metrics for the evaluation of machine translation (MT) compute scores that characterize globally certain aspects of MT quality such as adequacy and fluency. This paper introduces a reference-based metric that is focused on a particular class of f ...
