Diving into Danios

In the best articles, generally those dealing with basic Chromosome Puffs research, the combination of depth and accessibility is impressive. One on Hox genes introduces the notion of The Science Times Book of Genetics a conserved body plan among species, illustrating the Edited by Nicholas Wade point with the fauna of Star Trek, and continues with New York: The Lyons Press (1999). 256 pp. an e...

Diving Deeper into IM2GPS

Predicting the location an image was taken at is a long standing research problem in computer vision. Given the recent successes with using deep learning techniques, we present a series of approaches towards image geo-location using a variety of deep learning techniques. This report describes our implementation and experimental set-up of training the GoogLeNet and AlexNet architectures on a sam...

Alexey Khodjakov: Diving into the mitotic apparatus

S ituated at either end of the animal mitotic spindle, centrosomes are one of the most prominent and visually striking features of the mitotic apparatus. But what, exactly, is their function in cell division? And how is the mi-totic spindle organized in dividing cells? Alexey Khodjakov has been grappling with such questions since he was a graduate student in Russia. Using advanced mi-croscopy t...

Diving deeper into mentee networks

Modern computer vision is all about the possession of powerful image representations. Deeper and deeper convolutional neural networks have been built using larger and larger datasets and are made publicly available. A large swath of computer vision scientists use these pre-trained networks with varying degrees of successes in various tasks. Even though there is tremendous success in copying the...
