Le caricature veneziane di Anton Maria Zanetti (1680-1767)

Le Nozze di Nomen

At the conference, the part of Nomen was played by Li Gong of Javasoft; the part of Clavis was played by Barbara Fox of Microsoft; the part of Pastor was played by Brian Dillaway of Microsoft; and I played the part of Chorus myself. Li, Barbara, and Brian participated in this session without the benefit of rehearsal (or even advance knowledge of the script!) and I owe all of them a big “thank y...

Motivation: A basic issue for translational genomics is to model gene interaction via gene regulatory networks (GRNs) and thereby provide an informatics environment to study the effects of intervention (say, via drugs) and to derive effective intervention strategies. Taking the view that the phenotype is characterized by the long-run behavior (steadystate distribution) of the network, we desire...

Caricature video

We make moving caricatures from videos on human faces. Using training images, we created a 3D model of an average face. This allows us to transform the image in each frame of an input video, so that it is seen from the front. Then we apply 2D exaggeration rules to caricature each face. Finally, we rotate the face in each frame back to its original position. A panel of viewers gave positive scor...

Adverse environmental conditions trigger C. elegans larvae to activate an alternative developmental program, termed dauer diapause, which renders them stress resistant. High-level insulin signaling prevents constitutive dauer formation. However, it is not fully understood how animals assess conditions to choose the optimal developmental program. Here, we show that insulin-like peptide (ILP)-med...
