Diabetic patients usually take insulin bolus right before eat-ing a meal. A wrong dosage of insulin may lead to a hypoglycemia. Be-ing able to anticipate such insulin-induced, postprandial hypoglycemias would enable warning of the patients about the risk associated with the quantity of insulin they are planning to take. In this work, we explore the feasibility of predicting these…

This paper provides an overview of the Joint Contest on Multimedia Challenges Beyond Visual Analysis. We organized an academic competition that focused on four problems that require effective processing of multimodal information in order to be solved. Two tracks were devoted to gesture spotting and recognition from RGB-D video, two fundamental problems for human computer interaction…

The know-your-customer (KYC) due diligenceprocess is outdated and generates costs of up to USD 500million per year per bank.

This paper describes the three different pedagogical…

This chapter aims to provide an overview of the foundations of texture processing for biomedical image analysis. Its purpose is to define precisely what biomedical texture is, how is it different from general texture information considered in computer vision, and what is the general problem formulation to translate 2Dand 3Dtextured patterns from biomedical images to visually and…
