	Title	Localization of protein aggregation in Escherichia coli is governed by diffusion and nucleoid macromolecular crowding effect			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2013	Publication	Plos Computational Biology	Abbreviated Journal	PCB
	Volume	9	Issue	4	Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	Aggregates of misfolded proteins are a hallmark of many age-related diseases. Recently, they have been linked to aging of Escherichia coli (E. coli) where protein aggregates accumulate at the old pole region of the aging bacterium. Because of the potential of E. coli as a model organism, elucidating aging and protein aggregation in this bacterium may pave the way to significant advances in our global understanding of aging. A first obstacle along this path is to decipher the mechanisms by which protein aggregates are targeted to specific intercellular locations. Here, using an integrated approach based on individual-based modeling, time-lapse fluorescence microscopy and automated image analysis, we show that the movement of aging-related protein aggregates in E. coli is purely diffusive (Brownian). Using single-particle tracking of protein aggregates in live E. coli cells, we estimated the average size and diffusion constant of the aggregates. Our results provide evidence that the aggregates passively diffuse within the cell, with diffusion constants that depend on their size in agreement with the Stokes-Einstein law. However, the aggregate displacements along the cell long axis are confined to a region that roughly corresponds to the nucleoid-free space in the cell pole, thus confirming the importance of increased macromolecular crowding in the nucleoids. We thus used 3D individual-based modeling to show that these three ingredients (diffusion, aggregation and diffusion hindrance in the nucleoids) are sufficient and necessary to reproduce the available experimental data on aggregate localization in the cells. Taken together, our results strongly support the hypothesis that the localization of aging-related protein aggregates in the poles of E. coli results from the coupling of passive diffusion-aggregation with spatially non-homogeneous macromolecular crowding. They further support the importance of “soft” intracellular structuring (based on macromolecular crowding) in diffusion-based protein localization in E. coli.

	Title	Striola Magica: a functional explanation of otolith organs			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2013	Publication	Journal of Computational Neuroscience	Abbreviated Journal	JCN
	Volume	35	Issue	2	Pages	125-154
	Keywords	Otolith organs ;Striola; Vestibular pathway
	Abstract	Otolith end organs of vertebrates sense linear accelerations of the head and gravitation. The hair cells on their epithelia are responsible for transduction. In mammals, the striola, parallel to the line where hair cells reverse their polarization, is a narrow region centered on a curve with curvature and torsion. It has been shown that the striolar region is functionally different from the rest, being involved in a phasic vestibular pathway. We propose a mathematical and computational model that explains the necessity of this amazing geometry for the striola to be able to carry out its function. Our hypothesis, related to the biophysics of the hair cells and to the physiology of their afferent neurons, is that striolar afferents collect information from several type I hair cells to detect the jerk in a large domain of acceleration directions. This predicts a mean number of two calyces for afferent neurons, as measured in rodents. The domain of acceleration directions sensed by our striolar model is compatible with the experimental results obtained on monkeys considering all afferents. Therefore, the main result of our study is that phasic and tonic vestibular afferents cover the same geometrical fields, but at different dynamical and frequency domains.

	Title	Evaluating Color Representation for Online Road Detection			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	ICCV Workshop on Computer Vision in Vehicle Technology: From Earth to Mars	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	594-595
	Keywords
	Abstract	Detecting traversable road areas ahead a moving vehicle is a key process for modern autonomous driving systems. Most existing algorithms use color to classify pixels as road or background. These algorithms reduce the effect of lighting variations and weather conditions by exploiting the discriminant/invariant properties of different color representations. However, up to date, no comparison between these representations have been conducted. Therefore, in this paper, we perform an evaluation of existing color representations for road detection. More specifically, we focus on color planes derived from RGB data and their most com- mon combinations. The evaluation is done on a set of 7000 road images acquired using an on-board camera in different real-driving situations.

	Title	Tri-modal Person Re-identification with RGB, Depth and Thermal Features			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	9th IEEE Workshop on Perception beyond the visible Spectrum, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	301-307
	Keywords
	Abstract	Person re-identification is about recognizing people who have passed by a sensor earlier. Previous work is mainly based on RGB data, but in this work we for the first time present a system where we combine RGB, depth, and thermal data for re-identification purposes. First, from each of the three modalities, we obtain some particular features: from RGB data, we model color information from different regions of the body, from depth data, we compute different soft body biometrics, and from thermal data, we extract local structural information. Then, the three information types are combined in a joined classifier. The tri-modal system is evaluated on a new RGB-D-T dataset, showing successful results in re-identification scenarios.

	Abstract	In order to make improvements to teaching, it is vital to know what students think of the way they are taught. With that purpose in mind, exhaustively analyzing the forums associated with the subjects taught at the Universitat Oberta de Cataluya (UOC) would be extremely helpful, as the university's students often post comments on their learning experiences in them. Exploiting the content of such forums is not a simple undertaking. The volume of data involved is very large, and performing the task manually would require a great deal of effort from lecturers. As a first step to solve this problem, we propose a tool to automatically analyze the posts in forums of communities of UOC students and teachers, with a view to systematically mining the opinions they contain. This article defines the architecture of such tool and explains how lexical-semantic and language technology resources can be used to that end. For pilot testing purposes, the tool has been used to identify students' opinions on the UOC's Business Intelligence master's degree course during the last two years. The paper discusses the results of such test. The contribution of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it demonstrates the feasibility of using natural language parsing techniques to help teachers to make decisions. Secondly, it introduces a simple tool that can be refined and adapted to a virtual environment for the purpose in question.

	Title	Document noise removal using sparse representations over learned dictionary			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	Symposium on Document engineering	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	161-168
	Keywords
	Abstract	best paper award In this paper, we propose an algorithm for denoising document images using sparse representations. Following a training set, this algorithm is able to learn the main document characteristics and also, the kind of noise included into the documents. In this perspective, we propose to model the noise energy based on the normalized cross-correlation between pairs of noisy and non-noisy documents. Experimental results on several datasets demonstrate the robustness of our method compared with the state-of-the-art.

	Title	Contextual Word Spotting in Historical Manuscripts using Markov Logic Networks			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	2nd International Workshop on Historical Document Imaging and Processing	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	36-43
	Keywords
	Abstract	Natural languages can often be modelled by suitable grammars whose knowledge can improve the word spotting results. The implicit contextual information is even more useful when dealing with information that is intrinsically described as one collection of records. In this paper, we present one approach to word spotting which uses the contextual information of records to improve the results. The method relies on Markov Logic Networks to probabilistically model the relational organization of handwritten records. The performance has been evaluated on the Barcelona Marriages Dataset that contains structured handwritten records that summarize marriage information.

	Title	Handwriting Recognition in Historical Documents using Very Large Vocabularies			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	2nd International Workshop on Historical Document Imaging and Processing	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	67-72
	Keywords
	Abstract	Language models are used in automatic transcription system to resolve ambiguities. This is done by limiting the vocabulary of words that can be recognized as well as estimating the n-gram probability of the words in the given text. In the context of historical documents, a non-unified spelling and the limited amount of written text pose a substantial problem for the selection of the recognizable vocabulary as well as the computation of the word probabilities. In this paper we propose for the transcription of historical Spanish text to keep the corpus for the n-gram limited to a sample of the target text, but expand the vocabulary with words gathered from external resources. We analyze the performance of such a transcription system with different sizes of external vocabularies and demonstrate the applicability and the significant increase in recognition accuracy of using up to 300 thousand external words.

	Title	Multi-modal Gesture Recognition Challenge 2013: Dataset and Results			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	15th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	445-452
	Keywords
	Abstract	The recognition of continuous natural gestures is a complex and challenging problem due to the multi-modal nature of involved visual cues (e.g. fingers and lips movements, subtle facial expressions, body pose, etc.), as well as technical limitations such as spatial and temporal resolution and unreliable depth cues. In order to promote the research advance on this field, we organized a challenge on multi-modal gesture recognition. We made available a large video database of 13; 858 gestures from a lexicon of 20 Italian gesture categories recorded with a KinectTM camera, providing the audio, skeletal model, user mask, RGB and depth images. The focus of the challenge was on user independent multiple gesture learning. There are no resting positions and the gestures are performed in continuous sequences lasting 1-2 minutes, containing between 8 and 20 gesture instances in each sequence. As a result, the dataset contains around 1:720:800 frames. In addition to the 20 main gesture categories, ‘distracter’ gestures are included, meaning that additional audio and gestures out of the vocabulary are included. The final evaluation of the challenge was defined in terms of the Levenshtein edit distance, where the goal was to indicate the real order of gestures within the sequence. 54 international teams participated in the challenge, and outstanding results were obtained by the first ranked participants.

	Title	Multi-modal Social Signal Analysis for Predicting Agreement in Conversation Settings			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	15th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	495-502
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper we present a non-invasive ambient intelligence framework for the analysis of non-verbal communication applied to conversational settings. In particular, we apply feature extraction techniques to multi-modal audio-RGB-depth data. We compute a set of behavioral indicators that define communicative cues coming from the fields of psychology and observational methodology. We test our methodology over data captured in victim-offender mediation scenarios. Using different state-of-the-art classification approaches, our system achieve upon 75% of recognition predicting agreement among the parts involved in the conversations, using as ground truth the experts opinions.

	Title	Divide and Conquer: Atomizing and Parallelizing A Task in A Mobile Crowdsourcing Platform			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	2nd International ACM Workshop on Crowdsourcing for Multimedia	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	21-22
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper we present some conclusions about the advantages of having an efficient task formulation when a crowdsourcing platform is used. In particular we show how the task atomization and distribution can help to obtain results in an efficient way. Our proposal is based on a recursive splitting of the original task into a set of smaller and simpler tasks. As a result both more accurate and faster solutions are obtained. Our evaluation is performed on a set of ancient documents that need to be digitized.

	Title	Multilevel Analysis of Attributed Graphs for Explicit Graph Embedding in Vector Spaces			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2013	Publication	Graph Embedding for Pattern Analysis	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	1-26
	Keywords
	Abstract	Ability to recognize patterns is among the most crucial capabilities of human beings for their survival, which enables them to employ their sophisticated neural and cognitive systems [1], for processing complex audio, visual, smell, touch, and taste signals. Man is the most complex and the best existing system of pattern recognition. Without any explicit thinking, we continuously compare, classify, and identify huge amount of signal data everyday [2], starting from the time we get up in the morning till the last second we fall asleep. This includes recognizing the face of a friend in a crowd, a spoken word embedded in noise, the proper key to lock the door, smell of coffee, the voice of a favorite singer, the recognition of alphabetic characters, and millions of more tasks that we perform on regular basis.

	Title	Median Graph Computation by Means of Graph Embedding into Vector Spaces			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2013	Publication	Graph Embedding for Pattern Analysis	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	45-72
	Keywords
	Abstract	In pattern recognition [8, 14], a key issue to be addressed when designing a system is how to represent input patterns. Feature vectors is a common option. That is, a set of numerical features describing relevant properties of the pattern are computed and arranged in a vector form. The main advantages of this kind of representation are computational simplicity and a well sound mathematical foundation. Thus, a large number of operations are available to work with vectors and a large repository of algorithms for pattern analysis and classification exist. However, the simple structure of feature vectors might not be the best option for complex patterns where nonnumerical features or relations between different parts of the pattern become relevant.

	Title	Learning a Multiview Part-based Model in Virtual World for Pedestrian Detection			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	467 - 472
	Keywords	Pedestrian Detection; Virtual World; Part based
	Abstract	State-of-the-art deformable part-based models based on latent SVM have shown excellent results on human detection. In this paper, we propose to train a multiview deformable part-based model with automatically generated part examples from virtual-world data. The method is efficient as: (i) the part detectors are trained with precisely extracted virtual examples, thus no latent learning is needed, (ii) the multiview pedestrian detector enhances the performance of the pedestrian root model, (iii) a top-down approach is used for part detection which reduces the searching space. We evaluate our model on Daimler and Karlsruhe Pedestrian Benchmarks with publicly available Caltech pedestrian detection evaluation framework and the result outperforms the state-of-the-art latent SVM V4.0, on both average miss rate and speed (our detector is ten times faster).

	Title	VSLAM pose initialization via Lie groups and Lie algebras optimization			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	5740 - 5747
	Keywords	SLAM
	Abstract	We present a novel technique for estimating initial 3D poses in the context of localization and Visual SLAM problems. The presented approach can deal with noise, outliers and a large amount of input data and still performs in real time in a standard CPU. Our method produces solutions with an accuracy comparable to those produced by RANSAC but can be much faster when the percentage of outliers is high or for large amounts of input data. On the current work we propose to formulate the pose estimation as an optimization problem on Lie groups, considering their manifold structure as well as their associated Lie algebras. This allows us to perform a fast and simple optimization at the same time that conserve all the constraints imposed by the Lie group SE(3). Additionally, we present several key design concepts related with the cost function and its Jacobian; aspects that are critical for the good performance of the algorithm.
