Face recognition: Perspectives from the real world
Conference Proceeding
Mandal, B. (2016). Face recognition: Perspectives from the real world. . https://doi.org/10.1109/icarcv.2016.7838675

In this paper, we analyze some of our real-world deployment of face recognition (FR) systems for various applications and discuss the gaps between expectations of the user and what the system can deliver. We evaluate some of the existing algorithms w... Read More about Face recognition: Perspectives from the real world.

Learning cognitive manifolds of faces
Conference Proceeding
Li, L., Mandal, B., Tan, C., & Lim, J. (2017). Learning cognitive manifolds of faces. . https://doi.org/10.1109/siprocess.2017.8124584

Inspired by the studies in psychology and neuroscience, we propose a computational model of cognitive face representation that mimics the mechanism of human face perception. We propose to learn two separate manifolds for facial identity and facial ex... Read More about Learning cognitive manifolds of faces.

Nobajas, A., Ganau i Casas, J., Paül i Agustí, D., & Peacock, A. Lack of sufficient public space can limit the effectiveness of COVID-19’s social distancing measures. [Preprint article]

One of the primary strategies of slowing down the COVID-19 pandemic has been the establishment of social distancing rules that recommend keeping a buffer distance between individuals, and this has proven effective in helping in reducing the basic rep...

Aedes aegyptigut transcriptomes respond differently to microbiome transplants from field-caught or laboratory-reared mosquitoes
Journal Article
Hegde, S., Brettell, L. E., Quek, S., Etebari, K., Saldaña, M. A., Asgari, S., …Hughes, G. L. Aedes aegyptigut transcriptomes respond differently to microbiome transplants from field-caught or laboratory-reared mosquitoes. arXiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.03.16.532926

The mosquito microbiome is critical for host development and plays a major role in many aspects of mosquito biology. While the microbiome is commonly dominated by a small number of genera, there is considerable variation in composition among mosquito...

Inter-species microbiota transplantation recapitulates microbial acquisition and persistence in mosquitoes
Journal Article
Coon, K. L., Hegde, S., & Hughes, G. L. Inter-species microbiota transplantation recapitulates microbial acquisition and persistence in mosquitoes. arXiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.10.06.463328

Background Mosquitoes harbor microbial communities that play important roles in their growth, survival, reproduction, and ability to transmit human pathogens. Microbiome transplantation approaches are often used to study host-microbe interactions and...

Microbial interactions in the mosquito gut determine Serratia colonization and blood feeding propensity.
Journal Article
Kozlova, E. V., Hegde, S., Roundy, C. M., Golovko, G., A Saldana, M., Hart, C. E., …Hughes, G. L. Microbial interactions in the mosquito gut determine Serratia colonization and blood feeding propensity. arXiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.14.039701

How microbe-microbe interactions dictate microbial complexity in the mosquito gut is unclear. Previously we found that Serratia, a gut symbiont that alters vector competence and is being considered for vector control, poorly colonized Aedes aegypti y...

Gut-associated bacteria invade the midgut epithelium of Aedes aegypti and stimulate innate immunity and suppress Zika virus infection in cells
Journal Article
Hegde, S., Voronin, D., Casas-Sanchez, A., Saldaña, M. A., Heinz, E., Acosta-Serrano, A., …Hughes, G. L. Gut-associated bacteria invade the midgut epithelium of Aedes aegypti and stimulate innate immunity and suppress Zika virus infection in cells. arXiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/866897

Microbiota within mosquitoes influence nutrition, immunity, fecundity, and the capacity to transmit pathogens. Despite their importance, we have a limited understanding of host-microbiota interactions, especially at the cellular level. It is evident...
