A New Fine-grained Alignment Method for Image-text Matching [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Image-text retrieval is a widely studied topic in the field of computer vision due to the exponential growth of multimedia data, whose core concept is to measure the similarity between images and text. However, most existing retrieval methods heavily rely on cross-attention mechanisms for cross-modal fine-grained alignment, which takes into account ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

On Designing a Near Infrared Dorsal Hand Vein Authentication System

open access: yesIEEE Access
Dorsal hand vein patterns have gained prominence as a reliable biometric modality for verifying and identifying individuals. They offer a significant alternative to other well-known biometric modalities such as face, iris, or fingerprints, providing ...

The intracellular domain of TLR2 is capable of high‐affinity Zn binding: possible outcomes for the receptor activation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are important in the innate immune system. This study explores the zinc‐binding ability of the TLR2 TIR domain (TLR2TIR). We found that TLR2TIR binds zinc with nanomolar affinity through its cysteine residues. Two of them, C673 and C713, are vital for receptor activation, indicating that zinc may play a role in initiating ...

Cluster Winds Blow along Supercluster Axes

open access: yes, 1999
Within Abell galaxy clusters containing wide-angle tailed radio sources, there is evidence of a ``prevailing wind'' which directs the WAT jets. We study the alignment of WAT jets and nearby clusters to test the idea that this wind may be a fossil of ...

Unsupervised Difference Learning for Noisy Rigid Image Alignment [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Rigid image alignment is a fundamental task in computer vision, while the traditional algorithms are either too sensitive to noise or time-consuming. Recent unsupervised image alignment methods developed based on spatial transformer networks show an improved performance on clean images but will not achieve satisfactory performance on noisy images due ...

Generative Image Inpainting with Submanifold Alignment [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Twenty-Eighth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2019
Image inpainting aims at restoring missing regions of corrupted images, which has many applications such as image restoration and object removal. However, current GAN-based generative inpainting models do not explicitly exploit the structural or textural consistency between restored contents and their surrounding contexts.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Friction, Free Axes of Rotation and Entropy

open access: yes, 2017
Friction forces acting on rotators may promote their alignment and therefore eliminate degrees of freedom in their movement. The alignment of rotators by friction force was demonstrated by experiments performed with different spinners, demonstrating how ...
