Mining Spatial-Temporal Patterns and Structural Sparsity for Human Motion Data Denoising.

Motion capture is an important technique with a wide range of applications in areas such as computer vision, computer animation, film production, and medical rehabilitation. Even with the professional motion capture systems, the acquired raw data mostly contain inevitable noises and outliers. To denoise the data, numerous methods have been developed, while this problem still remains a challenge due to the high complexity of human motion and the diversity of real-life situations.

Feature correlation hypergraph: exploiting high-order potentials for multimodal recognition.

In computer vision and multimedia analysis, it is common to use multiple features (or multimodal features) to represent an object. For example, to well characterize a natural scene image, we typically extract a set of visual features to represent its color, texture, and shape. However, it is challenging to integrate multimodal features optimally.

The R1947X mutation of NF1 causing autosomal dominant neurofibromatosis type 1 in a Chinese family.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a common autosomal dominant disorder with a high rate of penetrance. It is caused by the mutation of the tumor suppressor gene NF1, which encodes neurofibromin. The main function of neurofibromin is down-regulating the biological activity of the proto-oncoprotein Ras by acting as a Ras-specific GTPase activating protein.
