The Neural Coding Framework for Learning Generative Models
How can a probabilistic generative model of data be learned in a neurobiologically-plausible fashion without the popular algorithm known as backpropagation of errors? This paper seeks to answer this question by developing a computational framework referred to as neural generative coding.
How rice senses ambient temperature changes
Changes in ambient temperature influence crop production. Understanding of how crops sense and respond to temperature is thus crucial for sustainable agriculture. The thermosensitive genic male-sterile (TGMS) lines provide a system to investigate the underlying mechanisms.
European patent protection for medical uses of known products and drug repurposing
Obtaining European patent protection for medical uses of known products is not a key factor limiting repurposing activity.
