Abstract Few-shot learning (FSL) approaches, mostly neural network-based, assume that pre-trained knowledge can be obtained from base (seen) classes and transferred to novel (unseen) classes. However, the black-box nature of networks makes it difficult understand what is actually transferred, which may hamper FSL application in some risk-sensitive areas. In this paper, we reveal a new way perfo...

Federated Learning (FL) has been drawing significant attention from both academia and industry working on distributed machine learning. In practice, learning over mutually isolated datasets residing at the network edge, also known as silos, FL clients can suffer a lack of samples, due to many reasons (e.g., expensive annotation), this potentially negative impact performance. Few-Shot (FSL) cons...

KEY POINTS Using high-speed videos time-locked with whole-animal electrical recordings, simultaneous measurement of behavioural kinematics and field potential parameters of C-start startle responses allowed for discrimination between short-latency and long-latency C-starts (SLCs vs. LLCs) in larval zebrafish. Apart from their latencies, SLC kinematics and SLC field potential parameters were int...

PURPOSE Precise and reproducible hippocampus outlining is important to quantify hippocampal atrophy caused by neurodegenerative diseases and to spare the hippocampus in whole brain radiation therapy when performing prophylactic cranial irradiation or treating brain metastases. This study aimed to quantify systematic differences between methods by comparing regional volume and outline reproducib...

Rare diseases are characterized by low prevalence and often chronically debilitating or life-threatening. Imaging-based classification of rare is challenging due to the severe shortage in training examples. Few-shot learning (FSL) methods tackle this challenge extracting generalizable prior knowledge from a large base dataset common normal controls, transferring diseases. Yet, most existing req...

The complete genome sequence ofSalmonella entericaserovar Typhimurium strain SO2, isolated from an asymptomatic child in Mexico, was determined using PacBio single-molecule real-time technology. Strain SO2 has six complete chromosomal prophages, namely, ST104, Gifsy-2, ST64B, Gifsy-1, ELPhiS, and FSL SP-004, and carries aSalmonellavirulence plasmid.

Previous studies applying automatic preprocessing methods on Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI) report inconsistent neuroanatomical abnormalities in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this study we investigate inter-method differences as a possible cause behind these inconsistent findings. In particular, we focus on the estimation of the following brain volumes: gray matter (GM), whit...
