Interactive detection of incrementally learned concepts in images with ranking and semantic query interpretation

This research was performed in the GOOSE project, which is jointly funded by the MIST research program of the Dutch Ministry of Defense and the AMSN enabling technology program.The number of networked cameras is growing exponentially. Multiple applications in different domains result in an increasing need to search semantically over video sensor data. In this paper, we present the GOOSE demonstrator, which is a real-time general-purpose search engine that allows users to pose natural language queries to retrieve corresponding images. Top-down, this demonstrator interprets queries, which are presented as an intuitive graph to collect user feedback. Bottomup, the system automatically recognizes and localizes concepts in images and it can incrementally learn novel concepts. A smart ranking combines both and allows effective retrieval of relevant images.peer-reviewe

Let’s share a story:socially-enhanced multimedia storytelling

User-generated audio-visual content is becoming the most popular medium for information sharing and social storytelling around a live event. This paper introduces an online multimedia storytelling eco-system comprised of purpose-built user applications, a collaborative story authoring engine, social context integration, and social-aware media services. The system enables online collaborative story co-authoring and provides an ideal platform to study the synergy between social networks and networked media in enhancing the user experience of storytelling as highlighted in our event-based user experiments

Foraging online social networks

A concise and practical introduction is given on Online Social Networks (OSN) and their application in law enforcement, including a brief survey of related work. Subsequently, a tool is introduced that can be used to search OSN in order to generate user profiles. Both its architecture and processing pipeline are described. This tool is meant as a flexible framework that supports manual foraging (and not replaces it). As such, we aim to bridge science’s state-of-the-art and current security officer’s practice. This article ends with a brief discussion on privacy and ethical issues and future work

Identification of human D lactate dehydrogenase deficiency

Phenotypic and biochemical categorization of humans with detrimental variants can provide valuable information on gene function. We illustrate this with the identification of two different homozygous variants resulting in enzymatic loss-of-function in LDHD, encoding lactate dehydrogenase D, in two unrelated patients with elevated D-lactate urinary excretion and plasma concentrations. We establish the role of LDHD by demonstrating that LDHD loss-of-function in zebrafish results in increased concentrations of D-lactate. D-lactate levels are rescued by wildtype LDHD but not by patients' variant LDHD, confirming these variants' loss-of-function effect. This work provides the first in vivo evidence that LDHD is responsible for human D-lactate metabolism. This broadens the differential diagnosis of D-lactic acidosis, an increasingly recognized complication of short bowel syndrome with unpredictable onset and severity. With the expanding incidence of intestinal resection for disease or obesity, the elucidation of this metabolic pathway may have relevance for those patients with D-lactic acidosis
