Basson slapped down by committee

Cell Size: Chromosomes Get Slapped by a Midzone Ruler

Spatial and temporal coordination of mitotic events has been generally attributed to the coincidental outcome of increasing cyclin-dependent kinase activity. A recent study reports that mitotic events and structures previously considered to be independently controlled are capable of trans-regulation to ensure genomic integrity.

Analogies in Medicine: Slapped Cheek Appearance

The first known clinical picture of a patient with erythema infectiosum was drawn in Robert Willan’s book On Cutaneous Diseases of 1808. The disease was thought to be a mild form of rubella or measles. Anton Tschamer described a distinct illness compatible with erythema infectiosum in 1889, although he thought it was abortive rubella. It was designated as fifth disease in the early 1900s when i...

Structural query-by-committee

In this work, we describe a framework that unifies many different interactive learning tasks. Wepresent a generalization of the query-by-committee active learning algorithm for this setting, and we studyits consistency and rate of convergence, both theoretically and empirically, with and without noise.

Committee Networks by Resampling

Artificial neural networks (ANN) are nonparametric models and like all nonparametric models require a large number of observations to build and evaluate the model. But data is always finite and most often scarce in real world applications. The question now becomes: How does a modeler build an ANN model on a limited sample size and obtain an accurate and reliable estimate the model’s error? The ...
