An Opportunistic, Deep-Learning, Resource-Recommendation System for Cloud HPC
The cloud has become a powerful environment for deploying High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications. However, the size and heterogeneity of cloud-hardware offerings poses a challenge in selecting the optimal cloud instance type. Users often lack the knowledge or time neces ...

Fast and Accurate Whisker Tracking in Rodents
Mice and rats can rapidly move their whiskers when exploring the environment. Accurate description of these movements is important for behavioral studies in neuroscience. Whisker tracking is, however, a notoriously difficult task due to the fast movements and frequent crossing ...
Neural activity exhibits oscillations, bursts, and resonance, enhancing responsiveness at preferential frequencies. For example, theta-frequency bursting and resonance in granule cells facilitate synaptic transmission and plasticity mechanisms at the input stage of the cerebel ...

An Iterative Algorithm for Whisker Detection in Video Frames
Automated whisker tracking is important for researching active touch in rodents. Earlier efforts to detect whiskers and represent them in a small set of parameters were either not accurate enough to enable tracking over time, or computationally expensive. In this article we pr ...
