Translational control of localized mRNAs: restricting protein synthesis in space and time

F Besse, A Ephrussi - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2008 - nature.com
As highlighted by recent genome-wide analyses in diverse organisms and cell types,
subcellular targeting of mRNAs has emerged as a major mechanism for cells to establish …

Principles and roles of mRNA localization in animal development

C Medioni, K Mowry, F Besse - Development, 2012 - journals.biologists.com
Intracellular targeting of mRNAs has long been recognized as a means to produce proteins
locally, but has only recently emerged as a prevalent mechanism used by a wide variety of …

Neural scene representation and rendering

SMA Eslami, D Jimenez Rezende, F Besse, F Viola… - Science, 2018 - science.org
Scene representation—the process of converting visual sensory data into concise descriptions—is
a requirement for intelligent behavior. Recent work has shown that neural networks …

Neuronal ribonucleoprotein granules: Dynamic sensors of localized signals

N Formicola, J Vijayakumar, F Besse - Traffic, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Membrane‐less organelles, because of their capacity to dynamically, selectively and reversibly
concentrate molecules, are very well adapted for local information processing and rapid …

Pmbp: Patchmatch belief propagation for correspondence field estimation

F Besse, C Rother, A Fitzgibbon, J Kautz - International Journal of …, 2014 - Springer
PatchMatch (PM) is a simple, yet very powerful and successful method for optimizing continuous
labelling problems. The algorithm has two main ingredients: the update of the solution …

Towards conceptual compression

K Gregor, F Besse… - Advances in neural …, 2016 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We introduce convolutional DRAW, a homogeneous deep generative model achieving state-of-the-art
performance in latent variable image modeling. The algorithm naturally stratifies …

Temporal difference variational auto-encoder

K Gregor, G Papamakarios, F Besse, L Buesing… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
To act and plan in complex environments, we posit that agents should have a mental simulator
of the world with three characteristics: (a) it should build an abstract state representing the …

Convolution by evolution: Differentiable pattern producing networks

C Fernando, D Banarse, M Reynolds, F Besse… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - dl.acm.org
In this work we introduce a differentiable version of the Compositional Pattern Producing
Network, called the DPPN. Unlike a standard CPPN, the topology of a DPPN is evolved but the …

Learning and querying fast generative models for reinforcement learning

…, D Rezende, DP Reichert, F Viola, F Besse… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
… not reuse any computations from evaluating p(or|f(o<r,a<r)) for evaluating p(or+1|f(o≤r,a≤r))…
: we allow f to be a recurrent mapping that recursively updates sufficient statistics hr = f(hr−1,…

Shaping belief states with generative environment models for rl

…, D Jimenez Rezende, F Besse… - Advances in …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
When agents interact with a complex environment, they must form and maintain beliefs about
the relevant aspects of that environment. We propose a way to efficiently train expressive …
