A Methodology for Quantitative PerformanceEvaluation of Detection

We present a methodology for the quantitative performance evaluation of detection algorithms in computer vision. A common method is to generate a variety of input images by varying the image parameters and evaluate the performance of the algorithm as algorithm parameters vary. Operating curves that relate the probability of mis-detection and false alarm are generated for each parameter setting....

Inhibition of Poxvirus Gene Expression and Genome Replication by Bisbenzimide Derivatives

Virus infection of humans and livestock can be devastating for individuals and populations, sometimes resulting in large economic and societal impact. Prevention of virus disease by vaccination or antiviral agents is difficult to achieve. A notable exception was the eradication of human smallpox by vaccination over 30 years ago. Today, humans and animals remain susceptible to poxvirus infection...

Semi-supervised network inference using simulated gene expression dynamics.

Motivation Inferring the structure of gene regulatory networks from high-throughput datasets remains an important and unsolved problem. Current methods are hampered by problems such as noise, low sample size, and incomplete characterizations of regulatory dynamics, leading to networks with missing and anomalous links. Integration of prior network information (e.g. from pathway databases) has th...
