Life Long Learning for Visual Scene Understanding (L3ViSU) (L3ViSU)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"My goal in the project is to develop and analyze algorithms that use continuous, open-ended machine learning from visual input data (images and videos) in order to interpret visual scenes on a level comparable to humans.L3ViSU is based on the hypothesis that we can only significantly improve the state of the art in computer vision algorithms by giving them access to background and contextual know ...

Decoding the complexity of turbulence at its origin (TURBOFLOW)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"Turbulence is the probably most complex and at the same time most relevant example of spatio-temporal disorder in nature. The transport of heat and mass in stars, the formation of planets, as well as flows in the earth atmosphere, oceans or around vehicles are all governed by turbulence. Despite its ubiquity our insights into this complex phenomenon are very limited. In contrast to many studies w ...

Cytoskeletal force generation and force transduction of migrating leukocytes (LeukocyteForces)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Cell migration is a universal feature of all metazoan life and crucially involved in most developmental, homeostatic and pathological processes. Most efforts to understand its molecular and mechanical aspects were focused on the “haptokinetic” paradigm. Here cells generate traction by coupling the protrusive and contractile forces of the actomyosin cytoskeleton via transmembrane receptors to the e ...

The Systems Biology of Transcriptional Read-Through in Bacteria: from Synthetic Networks to Genomic Studies (ReadThruBacSyst)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Mar 26, 2017,

Control of transcription in bacteria is achieved at many levels, including regulation of transcription initiation and termination, as well as the availability and stability of mRNAs. While some of these mechanisms have been extensively studied and seem to be tightly controlled, transcription termination is often strikingly inefficient. Why such a central process should be inefficient is unclear, a ...

Nanophysiology of fast-spiking, parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic interneurons (NANOPHYS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

In the present proposal, we plan to examine the dendrites, axons, and presynaptic terminals of fast-spiking, parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic interneurons using subcellular patch-clamp methods pioneered by the PI, imaging techniques, and computational approaches.The goal is to obtain a quantitative nanophysiological picture of signaling in this key type of interneuron. By incorporating realistic B ...

POLARITY AND SUBCELLULAR DYNAMICS IN PLANTS (PSDP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

"Plant life strategy is marked by acquisition of highly flexible development that adapts plants’ phenotype to the environment. Various environmental signals are integrated into the endogenous signalling networks involving the versatile phytohormone auxin. The intercellular auxin transport mediates a large variety of adaptive plant growth responses. Subcellular polar distribution of PIN auxin trans ...

Speed of Adaptation in Population Genetics and Evolutionary Computation (SAGE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Biological evolution has produced an extraordinary diversity of organisms, even the simplest of which is highly adapted, with multiple complex structures. Evolutionary computation has found that many innovative solutions to optimisation and design problems can be achieved by artificial evolution via random variation and selection.Despite the centrality of evolution to biology and the usefulness of ...

Quantitative Graph Games: Theory and Applications (Graph Games)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The theory of games played on graphs provides the mathematical foundations to study numerous important problems in branches of mathematics, economics, computer science, biology, and other fields. One key application area in computer science is the formal verification of reactive systems. The system is modeled as a graph, in which vertices of the graph represent states of the system, edges represen ...

Memory-Related Information Processing in Neuronal Circuits of the Hippocampus and Entorhinal Cortex (HIPECMEM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"This proposal will elucidate the circuit mechanism that underlies the spatial memory-related information processing in the interconnected brain areas of the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex (EC). Both of these areas are implicated in spatial memory and encode spatial information in neuronal activity patterns. The mechanisms underlying the emergence and coordination of spatial memory-related acti ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Quantitative Reactive Modeling (QUAREM)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"The project aims to build and evaluate a theory of quantitative fitness measures for reactive models. Such a theory must strive to obtain quantitative generalizations of the paradigms that have been success stories in qualitative reactive modeling, such as compositionality, property-preserving abstraction, model checking, and synthesis. The theory will be evaluated not only in the context of hard ...

Hormonal cross-talk in plant organogenesis (HCPO)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Growth and development of plants are regulated by signalling substances such as hormones. In plants, interactions between hormonal pathways represent crucial factors that govern their action. As the molecular basis for such hormonal cross-talk remains largely unknown, we will investigate the underlying mechanisms with a special focus on regulation of postembryonic organogenesis. We consider latera ...
