Standard algorithms for template-based information extraction (IE) require predefined template schemas, and often labeled data, to learn to extract their slot fillers (e.g., an embassy is the Target of a Bombing template). This paper describes an approach to template-based IE that removes this requirement and performs extraction without knowing the template structure in advance. Our algorithm i...

Development of a diffusion tensor (DT) template that is representative of the micro-architecture of the human brain is crucial for comparisons of neuronal structural integrity and brain connectivity across populations, as well as for the generation of a detailed white matter atlas. Furthermore, a DT template in ICBM space may simplify consolidation of information from DT, anatomical and functio...

PURPOSE Currently, there are two described methods of catheter insertion for women undergoing multicatheter interstitial accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). These are a volume based template approach (template) and a non-template ultrasound guidance freehand approach (non-template). We aim to compare dosimetric endpoints between the template and non-template approach. MATERIAL AND ...

This work presents RaptorX, a statistical method for template-based protein modeling that improves alignment accuracy by exploiting structural information in a single or multiple templates. RaptorX consists of three major components: single-template threading, alignment quality prediction, and multiple-template threading. This work summarizes the methods used by RaptorX and presents its CASP9 r...

Various template protection techniques have been developed in the past few years, among which cancelable biometrics is a very popular and efficient one. It uses a noninvertible transformation to map an original template to a transformed domain to prevent the recovery of the original template from a compromised transformed template. Generally, cross-template attacks over cancellable template sch...

There are two methods to search the spot in the microarray DNA chip: Grid method and Circle template image method. However, these methods have the drawback that they are slow. To solve this problem in a recent study, applying the running algorithm using a box template image reduced the time by 1/10. However, there was a drop in accuracy when comparing accuracy with Grid and Circle template matc...

Spatial normalization of images from multiple subjects is a common problem in group comparison studies, such as voxel-based and deformation-based morphometric analyses. Use of a study-specific template for normalization may improve normalization accuracy over a study-independent standard template (Good et al., NeuroImage, 14(1):21-36, 2001). Here, we develop this approach further by introducing...

To simplify the time consuming authoring task of template generation, we have developed a new buggyrule and template-template based tutorial dialogue system which has not only simplified the authoring but has markedly improved the system performance. The template-template architecture comprises two schemes; extraction rules are used to expand the classical templates into a variety of template p...

We present a drift-correcting template update strategy for precisely tracking a feature point in 2D image sequences in this paper. The proposed strategy greatly extends Matthews et al’s template tracking strategy [I. Matthews, T. Ishikawa and S. Baker, The template update problem, IEEE Trans. PAMI 26 (2004) 810-815.] by incorporating a robust non-rigid image registration step used in medical im...
