Polish Catholic hierarchs in face of the Holocaust: reassessing their role on a national and international level KU Leuven
It is often assumed that in countries where Catholics formed a majority of the population during the Holocaust, the influence of the Catholic hierarchy on the actions and attitudes of ordinary believers towards Jews could be considered crucial. It is also known that the survival of Jews depended on the willingness of the non-Jews to assist them in various ways. Hence, the question arises how the Catholic Church faced this challenge and ...
Novel tree-ensemble based methods for weakly-supervised structured output prediction with applications in biomedicine KU Leuven
Recent studies in structured output prediction, an umbrella term for machine learning tasks where multiple outputs must be predicted, have identified the veracity of the data as a major challenge. More specifically, structured output prediction datasets present noise in the output space due to faulty equipment, high cost of annotation or high volume of data, meaning that they are weakly-supervised. State-of-the-art methods, however, often ...
The emergence of invariance and selectivity in rodent visual cortex. KU Leuven
There is increased interest in the organization of visual cortex in mice and rats beyond the first processing stage in primary visual cortex, and recent studies have revealed a surprising degree of functional specialization within different regions of visual cortex. However, these studies have been restricted to low- and mid-level visual processing, and fall short of establishing a true hierarchy of visual processing. We have data obtained in ...
Structured learning for hierarchically organized biological data Ghent University
Data mining in bioinformatics is confronted with complex data, which poses challenges w.r.t.
scalability and structured data types. One data structure that is often encountered in this context is
hierarchical data. For instance, gene functions can be structured in a hierarchy from more general
functions (e.g., “receptor activity”) to more specific functions (e.g., “G-protein-coupled
photoreceptor activity”). In many ...

Unraveling neural coding in the visual system by combining human and non-human primate Neurophysiology and Deep Convolutional Neural Networks. KU Leuven
The complexity of our visual environment is represented in the brain through hierarchically organized patterns of activity across the ventral visual cortex. Studies focusing on how exactly information is represented by these neurons and on the specific features being encoded, have been constrained by the choice of stimuli to probe neural activity. Selection of images to discover neuronal feature preferences has traditionally been guided by a ...
Mapping intratumoral heterogeneity and dynamics in melanoma progression and metastasis KU Leuven
Melanoma represents the most aggressive and the deadliest form of skin cancer with diverse socio-economical implications worldwide. Standard of care therapeutic approaches mainly include surgical resection, immunotherapy and targeted therapy. The therapeutic strategy can include single agents or combined therapies, depending on the patient’s characteristics and location of the tumor. However, the efficacy of these treatments against ...
