  • moheibacter stercoris sp nov isolated from an Input Sample of a biogas plant
    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Thorsten Schauss, Hansjurgen Busse, Jan Golke, Peter Kampfer, Stefanie P Glaeser
    Abstract:

    A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, strain 784B1_12E-CasoT, was isolated from a mixed manure Sample used as Input material of a German biogas plant. Phylogenetic identification based on the nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the strain within the family Flavobacteriaceae(Bacteroidetes) with highest sequence similarity to the type strain of Moheibacter sediminis (93.7 %) followed by Empedobacter brevis(90.7 %). Major cellular fatty acids of strain 784B1_12E-CasoT were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The polyamine pattern contained predominantly sym-homospermidine and the quinone system consisted exclusively of menaquinone MK-6. Major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified polar lipid only detectable after staining for total lipids. The DNA G+C content was 34.5 mol%. Based on phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and physiological analyses, a novel species of the genus Moheibacter is proposed, Moheibacterstercoris sp. nov. (type strain 784B1_12E-CasoT=CIP 110830T=LMG 28502T).

  • multimodal routing improving local and global interpretability of multimodal language analysis
    Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2020
    Co-Authors: Yaohung Hubert Tsai, Martin Q, Muqiao Yang, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Louisphilippe Morency
    Abstract:

    The human language can be expressed through multiple sources of information known as modalities, including tones of voice, facial gestures, and spoken language. Recent multimodal learning with strong performances on human-centric tasks such as sentiment analysis and emotion recognition are often black-box, with very limited interpretability. In this paper we propose, which dynamically adjusts weights between Input modalities and output representations differently for each Input Sample. Multimodal routing can identify relative importance of both individual modalities and cross-modality factors. Moreover, the weight assignment by routing allows us to interpret modality-prediction relationships not only globally (i.e. general trends over the whole dataset), but also locally for each single Input Sample, meanwhile keeping competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Multimodal routing can identify relative importance of both individual modalities and cross-modality features.

  • real time texture synthesis by patch based sampling
    ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2001
    Co-Authors: Lin Liang, Ce Liu, Baining Guo, Heungyeung Shum
    Abstract:

    We present an algorithm for synthesizing textures from an Input Sample. This patch-based sampling algorithm is fast and it makes high-quality texture synthesis a real-time process. For generating textures of the same size and comparable quality, patch-based sampling is orders of magnitude faster than existing algorithms. The patch-based sampling algorithm works well for a wide variety of textures ranging from regular to stochastic. By sampling patches according to a nonparametric estimation of the local conditional MRF density function, we avoid mismatching features across patch boundaries. We also experimented with documented cases for which pixel-based nonparametric sampling algorithms cease to be effective but our algorithm continues to work well.

  • chaos mosaic fast and memory efficient texture synthesis
    2000
    Co-Authors: Baining Guo, Heungyeung Shum
    Abstract:

    We present a procedural method for synthesizing large textures from an Input texture Sample. The basis of our algorithm is the chaos mosaic, a technique for synthesizing textures with an even and visually stochastic distribution of the local features of the Input Sample. The chaos mosaic is fast. For synthesizing textures of the same size and comparable quality, our algorithm is orders of magnitude faster than existing algorithms. On a PC we can synthesize a 512 X 512 texture from a 64 X 64 Sample in just 0.03 seconds. More importantly, the chaos mosaic facilitates memory efficient texture rendering through procedural texturing. Like traditional solid texture techniques, the chaos mosaic allows us to synthesize and render synthetic textures that, if stored explicitly as textures, would require prohibitively large amounts of storage. As an example, we demonstrate that an 100k X 100k synthetic texture can be interactively visualized on a modest PC without suffering from latency. Finally, the chaos mosaic can drastically reduce the bandwidth for interactive 3D graphics delivered across the internet.

  • separation of leukocytes from blood using spiral channel with trapezoid cross section
    Analytical Chemistry, 2012
    Co-Authors: Lidan Wu, Guofeng Guan, Ali Asgar S Bhagat
    Abstract:

    Inertial microfluidics has recently drawn wide attention as an efficient, high-throughput microfluidic cell separation method. However, the achieved separation resolution and throughput, as well as the issues with cell dispersion due to cell–cell interaction, have appeared to be limiting factors in the application of the technique to real-world Samples such as blood and other biological fluids. In this paper, we present a novel design of a spiral inertial microfluidic (trapezoidal cross-section) sorter with enhanced separation resolution and demonstrate its ability in separating/recovering polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and mononuclear leukocytes (MNLs) from diluted human blood (1–2% hematocrit) with high efficiency (>80%). PMNs enriched by our method also showed negligible activation as compared to original Input Sample, while the conventional red blood cell (RBC) lysis method clearly induced artificial activation of the sensitive PMNs. Therefore, our proposed technique would be a promising alternat...
