  Human perception involves many features like contours, shapes, textures, and colors to name a few. Whereas several geometric models for contours, shapes and textures perception have been proposed, the geometry of color ...
• Statistics of natural images as a function of dynamic range

  Grimaldi, Antoine Vincent; Kane, David; Bertalmío, Marcelo (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), 2019)

• In praise of artifice reloaded: caution with natural image databases in modeling vision

  Martínez García, Marina; Bertalmío, Marcelo; Malo, Jesús (Frontiers, 2019)

  Subjective image quality databases are a major source of raw data on how the visual system works in naturalistic environments. These databases describe the sensitivity of many observers to a wide range of distortions of ...
• Training neural audio classifiers with few data

  Pons Puig, Jordi; Serrà Julià, Joan; Serra, Xavier (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)

  We investigate supervised learning strategies that improve the training of neural network audio classifiers on small annotated collections. In particular, we study whether (i) a naive regularization of the solution space, ...
• End-to-end sound source separation conditioned on instrument labels

  Slizovskaia, Olga; Kim, Leo; Haro Ortega, Gloria; Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975- (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)

  Can we perform an end-to-end music source separation with a variable number of sources using a deep learning model? This paper presents an extension of the Wave-UNet [1] model which allows end-to-end monaural ...
• Fully automatic 3D reconstruction of the placenta and its peripheral vasculature in intrauterine fetal MRI

  Recent advances in fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) open the door to improved detection and characterization of fetal and placental abnormalities. Since interpreting MRI data can be complex and ambiguous, there is a ...
• The Few-get-richer: a surprising consequence of popularity-based rankings

  Germano, Fabrizio; Gómez, Vicenç; Le Mens, Gaël (ACM Association for Computer Machinery, 2019)

  Ranking algorithms play a crucial role in online platforms ranging from search engines to recommender systems. In this paper, we identify a surprising consequence of popularity-based rankings: the fewer the items reporting ...
