Sparse Conditional Mixture Model: Late Fusion with Missing Scores for Multimedia Event Detection
We present the Sparse Conditional Mixture Model (SCMM) which models only the observed detection scores for each example, thereby avoiding making any assumptions about the distributions of the scores that are made by backoff models.

Alpha7 Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors as a Drug Target in Schizophrenia
Preclinical and clinical data suggest that neuronal α7nAChRs play an important role in cognitive functions. Moreover, some, but not all, early clinical trials conducted with α7nAChR agonists show cognitive benefits in schizophrenics.
