Fly Dscams Can Also Help You Find the Right Partners

The modular reiterative pattern of the fly visual system makes it an ideal model to study axon guidance and synaptogenesis. In this issue of Neuron, Tadros et al. (2016) show that Dscam2/4 promote the anchoring of dendrites to their targets.

Mammalian DSCAMs: They Won't Help You Find a Partner, but They'll Guarantee You Some Personal Space

In this issue of Neuron, Fuerst et al., report that mammalian DSCAMs powerfully regulate the mosaic spacing of neurons in the retina, but not their synaptic specificity. The results unveil critical features regarding the type and scope of molecular interactions that guide neural circuit assembly in the mammalian CNS.

Can Social Tags Help You Find What You Want?

One of the uses of social tagging is to associate freely selected terms (tags) to resources for sharing resources among tag consumers. This enables tag consumers to locate new resources through the collective intelligence of other tag creators, and offers a new avenue for resource discovery. This paper investigates the effectiveness of tags as resource descriptors determined through the use of ...

Can deep learning help you find the perfect match?

Is he/she attractive or not? We can often answer this question in a split of a second, and this ability is one of the main reasons behind the success of recent dating apps. In this paper we explore if we can predict attractiveness from profile pictures with convolutional networks. We argue that the introduced task is difficult due to i) the large number of variations in profile pictures and ii)...
