MOTIVATION Regulation of gene expression in space and time directs its localization to a specific subset of cells during development. Systematic determination of the spatiotemporal dynamics of gene expression plays an important role in understanding the regulatory networks driving development. An atlas for the gene expression patterns of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been created by who...

We present a system for automatic music annotation that leverages temporal (e.g., rhythmical) aspects as well as timbral content. Our system estimates a dynamic texture mixture (DTM) density over times series of acoustic features (instead of on individual features) for each tag in a semantic vocabulary. When analyzing a new song, our system processes the time series of acoustic features of the ...

In the encoder-decoder architecture for neural machine translation (NMT), the hidden states of the recurrent structures in the encoder and decoder carry the crucial information about the sentence.These vectors are generated by parameters which are updated by back-propagation of translation errors through time. We argue that propagating errors through the end-to-end recurrent structures are not ...

The Zebrafish Information Network (ZFIN) is a web based community resource that serves as a centralized location for the curation and integration of zebrafish genetic, genomic and developmental data. ZFIN is publicly accessible at http://zfin.org. ZFIN provides an integrated representation of mutants, genes, genetic markers, mapping panels, publications and community contact data. Recent enhanc...

The Gene Ontology Annotation (GOA) database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA) aims to provide high-quality electronic and manual annotations to the UniProt Knowledgebase (Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL and PIR-PSD) using the standardized vocabulary of the Gene Ontology (GO). As a supplementary archive of GO annotation, GOA promotes a high level of integration of the knowledge represented in UniProt with other dat...

Background: Knowledge management in the European project Noesis addresses concept-based annotation and multilingual Information Retrieval of documents. Objective: Multilingual enrichment of a concept-based terminology in the medical field. Experience and evaluation in the domain of cardiovascular diseases by enriching a subset of the MeSH thesaurus in six European languages. This terminology, r...

Recent progress in the field of human action recognition points towards the use of Spatio-Temporal Interest Points (STIPs) for local descriptor-based recognition strategies. In this paper, we present a novel approach for robust and selective STIP detection, by applying surround suppression combined with local and temporal constraints. This new method is significantly different from existing STI...

With the rapid proliferation of smartphones and tablet computers, search has moved beyond text to other modalities like images and voice. For many applications like Fashion, visual search offers a compelling interface that can capture stylistic visual elements beyond color and pattern that cannot be as easily described using text. However, extracting and matching such attributes remains an extr...

We consider the multi-label classification problem in this paper. We propose a randomized ensemble learning algorithm, random tag forest, which is an ensemble of random tag trees. Each tree is built by randomly defining a hierarchical tree structure over a subset of tag vocabulary. Each node in the tree corresponds to a tag in the vocabulary. During testing, a testing example will pass through ...
