The acceleration in the generation of data in the biomedical domain has necessitated the use of computational approaches to assist in its interpretation. However, these approaches rely on the availability of high quality, ...

Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a unique MRI modality to probe the diffusive molecular transport in biological tissue. Due to its noninvasiveness and its ability to investigate the living human brain ...

Semantic segmentation is one of the fundamental problems in computer vision. This thesis addresses various tasks, all related to the fine-grained, i.e. pixel-wise or voxel-wise, semantic understanding of a scene. In the ...

The classical bin packing problem can be stated as follows: We are given a multiset of items {a₁, ..., a_n} with sizes in [0,1], and want to pack them into a minimum number of bins, each of which with ......

A more complete understanding of the genetic architecture of complex traits and diseases can maximize the utility of human genetics in disease screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. Undoubtedly, the identification ...

The landscape of machine learning applications is changing rapidly: large centralized datasets are replaced by high volume, high velocity data streams generated by a vast number of geographically distributed, loosely ...

Clustering is a fundamental tool in data mining. It partitions points into groups (clusters) and may be used to make decisions for each point based on its group. We study several clustering objectives. We begin with studying ......

In recent years, misinformation has caused widespread alarm and has become a global concern, given the negative impact placed on society, democratic institutions and even computing systems whose the primary objective is ......

With increasing global population, the resources for agriculture required to feed the growing number of people are becoming scarce. Estimates expect that by 2050, 60 % more food will be necessary. Nowadays, 70 % of fresh ...

Light takes many paths throughout the physical environment, defined by a multitude of interactions with matter, before reaching an imaging sensor or the human eye and thus forming the visual perception of the world. ...
