Yue Minjun : l'ombre du fou rire

"Fou rire prodromique" heralding a brainstem stroke.

A patient manifested pathological laughter heralding the onset of brainstem stroke leading to a "locked-in" state. The pathological laughter did not recur. MRI revealed a bilateral ventral pontine infarct. The clinico-anatomical correlations of this rare phenomenon of fou rire prodromique are discussed.

Yue Cai Research Statement

The idea of q-analogues can be traced back to Euler in the 1700’s who was studying q-series, especially specializations of theta functions. In general, a q-analogue of a combinatorial object is an expression parameterized by q which reduces to the cardinality of the object when we set q = 1. The theory of qanalogues has applications to the study of quantum calculus, quantum groups and many othe...

Research Statement of Yisong Yue

My core research interests lie in statistical machine learning, with a primary application focus in the field of information retrieval and access. In particular, I am interested in developing principled learning methods with theoretical foundations that will not only lead to practical systems of immediate benefit, but also push our ability to reason about the increasingly sophisticated informat...

Yue Pan's PhD Thesis

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) function as the master plan for controlling the expression of genes in living cells. Understanding the interactions between regulatory factors and their target genes in such regulatory networks is a fundamental and challenging problem for experimental and computational biologists. The main goal of this dissertation is to develop novel statistical models and compu...
