Thinking before retrieving: Robust zero-shot composed image retrieval via strategic planning and self-criticism

Gunho Jung · Jeong-Woo Park · Seon Bin Kim · Seong-Whan Lee

Composed image retrieval requires identifying a target image from a gallery by integrating a reference image with a textual modification instruction. In a training-free zero-shot setting, this task relies on constructing a retrieval-oriented textual query within a frozen vision--language embedding space at inference ti...

ReLU integral probability metric and its applications

Yuha Park · Kunwoong Kim · Insung Kong · Yongdai Kim

We propose a parametric integral probability metric (IPM) to measure the discrepancy between two probability measures. The proposed IPM leverages a specific parametric family of discriminators, such as single-node neural networks with ReLU activation, to effectively distinguish between distributions, making it applicab...

Quantitative mapping from conventional MRI using self-supervised physics-guided deep learning: Applications to a large-scale, clinically heterogeneous dataset

Jelmer van Lune · Stefano Mandija · Oscar van der Heide · Matteo Maspero · y 4 más

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a cornerstone of clinical neuroimaging, yet conventional MRIs provide qualitative information heavily dependent on scanner hardware and acquisition settings. While quantitative MRI (qMRI) offers intrinsic tissue parameters, the requirement for specialized acquisition protocols and re...

Role-specific experiences of inefficiency in the biomedical research and clinical laboratory workforce

A.J. Tucker · M.C. Schall · A.M. Traylor · P.J. Sprik · y 2 más

Inefficiencies impose a significant burden on healthcare workers, resulting in adverse consequences for organizations and their employees. Previous studies have explored how clinical workers perceive these inefficiencies. However, little is known about the biomedical research and clinical laboratory workforce. Open-end...

Vulvar and pelvic-origin lower-extremity varicose veins: A survey of current evaluation and management

Peyton M. Cramer · Kimberly Scherer · Ronald S. Winokur · Neil Khilnani

The primary objective is to assess current practice for evaluating and managing vulvar (V3a) and pelvic origin lower extremity (V3b) varicose veins to inform future research priorities and guideline development.An electronic survey was internationally distributed to vascular specialists to assess the current state of p...

Combining gene amplification with SEAP-reporter to achieve high expression of recombinant omicron XBB.1.5 spike protein

Zhongcheng Zou · Peter D. Sun

Most stable mammalian recombinant protein expressions use labor-intensive ELISA with target specific antibodies for screening of high-expression clones. Some alternative antibody-free reporter systems, such as the ones using intracellular green fluorescent proteins, simplified the screening of expression clones but oft...

MATRIX: A multidimensional maritime traffic complexity evaluation framework

Milin, Vice · Skoko, Ivica

Maritime traffic complexity (MTC) is a key metric of navigational difficulty. Existing MTC models share a common limitation: they assess complexity almost exclusively through vessel-interaction geometry derived from Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, neglecting the environmental and operational conditions that...

BAG Barcelona

Marina RODRIGUEZ · Petra PERNOT · Montserrat FABREGA · Miriam CONDEMINAS

BAG Barcelona joins 9 groups that belong to two different research institutions: the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona from the Spanish Research Council (IBMB-CSIC) and the Institute for Research in Biomedicine from Barcelona (IRB Barcelona). With a long tradition of accessing the ESRF, the main subjects of r...

Perinatal antiretroviral-associated cytokine and gut microbiota outcomes in deer mouse dams and their behaviorally diverse adult offspring

De Wet Wolmarans · Jo-Anne Stroebel · Rencia van der Sluis · Timothy R Sampson · y 2 más

Roll-out of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC)-based pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention during pregnancy is increasing the number of infants perinatally exposed to antiretrovirals. Emerging evidence links perinatal antiretroviral (ART) and/or HIV exposure to later-life neurocognitive...
