. Error-free diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from healthy control (HC) patients at an early stage of the disease is a major concern, because information about the condition's severity and developmental risks present allows AD sufferer to take p...
We introduce the feature-weighted receptive field (fwRF), an encoding model designed to balance expressiveness, interpretability and scalability. The fwRF is organized around the notion of a feature map-a transformation of visual stimuli into visual ...
BACKGROUND: Although robotics has already been applied to several surgical fields, available systems are not designed for endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS). New conception prototypes have been recently described for ESBS. The aim of this study was...

This paper presents a new discriminative deep metric learning (DDML) method for face and kinship verification in wild conditions. While metric learning has achieved reasonably good performance in face and kinship verification, most existing metric le...
BACKGROUND: In question answering (QA) system development, question classification is crucial for identifying information needs and improving the accuracy of returned answers. Although the questions are domain-specific, they are asked by non-professi...
To a large extent, robotics locomotion can be viewed as cyclic motions, named gaits. Due to the high complexity of the locomotion dynamics, to find the control laws that ensure an expected gait and its stability with respect to external perturbations...
OJECTIVE: Ultrasound guided central venous catheterization (CVC) is a common surgical procedure with complication rates ranging from 5 to 21 percent. Training is typically performed using manikins that do not simulate anatomical variations such as ob...
