Peripheral nerve blocking (PNB) is a standard procedure to support regional anesthesia. Still, correct localization of the nerve's structure is needed to avoid adverse effects; thereby, ultrasound images are used as an aid approach. In addition, imag...

Word embedding models have recently shown some capability to encode hierarchical information that exists in textual data. However, such models do not explicitly encode the hierarchical structure that exists among words. In this work, we propose a met...

In order to better understand how the brain perceives faces, it is important to know what objective drives learning in the ventral visual stream. To answer this question, we model neural responses to faces in the macaque inferotemporal (IT) cortex wi...
