A Roadmap towards Precision Periodontics

Precision renal medicine: a roadmap towards targeted kidney fibrosis therapies

Based on extensive pre-clinical achievements over the past decades, it appears to be due time for a successful clinical translation in the renal fibrosis field-but what is the quickest road to get there? In light of the recent launch of the Precision Medicine Initiative and success of molecularly informed drugs in oncology, we here discuss what it may take to bring molecularly targeted anti-fib...

Lasers : a Ray towards Periodontics

Theodore maiman in 1960 invented the ruby laser, since then lasers technology has holded the attention in dental practice and has revolutionised dental treatment. Lasers have been used in initial periodontal therapy, surgery, and also in implant treatment. Lasers have various periodontal applications including calculus removal; for removal of the pocket epithelium; soft tissue excision, incisio...

Towards a Roadmap for NeuroIT

A Roadmap Towards Machine Intelligence

The development of intelligent machines is one of the biggest unsolved challenges in computer science. In this paper, we propose some fundamental properties these machines should have, focusing in particular on communication and learning. We discuss a simple environment that could be used to incrementally teach a machine the basics of natural-language-based communication, as a prerequisite to m...

A Roadmap Towards Versatile MIR

Most MIR systems are specifically designed for one application and one cultural context and suffer from the semantic gap between the data and the application. Advances in the theory of Bayesian language and information processing enable the vision of a versatile, meaningful and accurate MIR system integrating all levels of information. We propose a roadmap to collectively achieve this vision.
