Abstract Proteins are essential molecules, that must correctly perform their roles for the good health of living organisms. The majority of proteins operate in complexes and the way they interact has pivotal influence on the proper functioning of such organisms. In this study we address the problem of protein–protein interaction and we propose and…
Abstract Fall detection (FD) has been the focus of many research studies during the last years. Developing reliable FD systems is relevant, for instance, to provide support to the elderly population in their everyday life. Besides, the generalization of the use of wearable devices (and more specifically, on-wrist devices) to measure the daily activity strongly suggests…

Abstract We present a new type of optimization algorithms, adapted for neural network training. These algorithms are based upon sequential operator splitting technique for some associated dynamical systems. Furthermore, we investigate through numerical simulations the empirical rate of convergence of these iterative schemes toward a local minimum of the loss function, with some suitable…
Abstract This paper proposes a novel method for supervised optimization of cellular automata rules using curriculum learning. The optimized edge detector manages to generalize a rule from synthetic data that is applicable to magnetic resonance images, removing the need for manual annotation of medical data. The method achieves competitive results with classical edge detectors…
Abstract Edge detection is an important component in many computer vision tasks since edges convey information about the objects in an image. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the proposed edge detector with respect to one of the state-of-the-art methods, the Canny edge detector. Our edge detection model involves the supervised optimization of…

Abstract Edge detection is a fundamental image analysis task, as it provides insight on the content of an image. There are weaknesses in some of the edge detectors developed until now, such as disconnected edges, the impossibility to detect branching edges, or the need for a ground truth that is not always accessible. Therefore,…
Abstract Despite the promising results obtained by deep learning methods in the field of medical image segmentation, lack of sufficient data always hinders performance to a certain degree. In this work, we explore the feasibility of applying deep learning methods on a pilot dataset. We present a simple and practical approach to perform segmentation…
Abstract We present a method of using interactive image segmentation algorithms to reduce specific image segmentation problems to the task of finding small sets of pixels identifying the regions of interest. To this end, we empirically show the feasibility of automatically generating seeds for GrowCut, a popular interactive image segmentation algorithm. The principal contribution…
