Bimodal Expression

چکیده
A goal of research in human-computer interaction is computer systems that can recognize and understand nonverbal communication. In a series of studies, we developed semiautomated methods of discriminating emotion and para-linguistic communication in face and voice. In study 1, three computervision based modules reliably recognized FACS action units, which are the smallest visibly discriminable changes in facial expression. Automated Face Analysis demonstrated convergent validity with manual coding for 15 action units and action unit combinations central to the expression of emotion. In study 2, prosodic measures discriminated pragmatic intent in infantdirected speech with accuracy ranging from 61-65% in test samples. In study 3, facial EMG and prosodic measures combined discriminated between negative, neutral, and positive emotion with accuracy ranging from 47-79% in test samples. These results support the feasibility of human-computer interfaces that are sensitive to the full range of human nonverbal communication

A Novel Feedback Loop That Controls Bimodal Expression of Genetic Competence
Gene expression can be highly heterogeneous in isogenic cell populations. An extreme type of heterogeneity is the so-called bistable or bimodal expression, whereby a cell can differentiate into two alternative expression states. Stochastic fluctuations of protein levels, also referred to as noise, provide the necessary source of heterogeneity that must be amplified by specific genetic circuits ...
متن کاملExpression a La Bimode
Open Access Full open access to this and thousands of other papers at The recently published article by Wang, 1 and commented on by Ertel 2 in this journal, describes development of a method, named the Bimodality Index, to objectively identify and rank meaningful and reliable bimodal patterns from large-scale gene expression datasets. This is an important step because genes with a bimodal distr...
متن کاملBimodal magnetic resonance imaging-computed tomography nanoprobes: A Review
Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...
متن کاملThe Bimodality Index: A Criterion for Discovering and Ranking Bimodal Signatures from Cancer Gene Expression Profiling Data
MOTIVATION Identifying genes with bimodal expression patterns from large-scale expression profiling data is an important analytical task. Model-based clustering is popular for this purpose. That technique commonly uses the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) for model selection. In practice, however, BIC appears to be overly sensitive and may lead to the identification of bimodally expressed g...
متن کاملBacterial-Chromatin Structural Proteins Regulate the Bimodal Expression of the Locus of Enterocyte Effacement (LEE) Pathogenicity Island in Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
In enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) encodes a type 3 secretion system (T3SS) essential for pathogenesis. This pathogenicity island comprises five major operons (LEE1 to LEE5), with the LEE5 operon encoding T3SS effectors involved in the intimate adherence of bacteria to enterocytes. The first operon, LEE1, encodes Ler (LEE-encoded regulator), an...
متن کاملBimodal gene expression in noncooperative regulatory systems.
Bimodality of gene expression, as a mechanism contributing to phenotypic diversity, enhances the survival of cells in a fluctuating environment. To date, the bimodal response of a gene regulatory system has been attributed to the cooperativity of transcription factor binding or to feedback loops. It has remained unclear whether noncooperative binding of transcription factors can give rise to bi...
