• Abstract summary: We propose a novel deep learning approach to automatically detect vital signs in videos. Our system learns to predict the respiration or heart intensity signal for each moment in time and to detect the region of interest that is most relevant for the given task. We test the effectiveness of our proposed system on the recent LCAS dataset and obtain state-of-the-art results.

• Abstract: Automatically detecting vital signs in videos, such as the estimation of heart and respiration rates, is a challenging research problem in computer vision with important applications in the medical field. One of the key difficulties in tackling this task is the lack of sufficient supervised training data, which severely limits the use of powerful deep neural networks. In this paper we address this limitation through a novel deep learning approach, in which a recurrent deep neural network is trained to detect vital signs in the infrared thermal domain from purely synthetic data. What is most surprising is that our novel method for synthetic training data generation is general, relatively simple and uses almost no prior medical domain knowledge. Moreover, our system, which is trained in a purely automatic manner and needs no human annotation, also learns to predict the respiration or heart intensity signal for each moment in time and to detect the region of interest that is most relevant for the given task, e.g. the nose area in the case of respiration. We test the effectiveness of our proposed system on the recent LCAS dataset and obtain state-of-the-art results.

  A potential solution to this issue is Neuro-Symbolic Integration (NeSy), where neural approaches are combined with symbolic reasoning. Most of these methods exploit a neural network to map perceptions to symbols and a logical reasoner to predict the output of the downstream task. They suffer from several issues, including slow convergence, learning difficulties with complex perception tasks, and convergence to local minima. This paper proposes a simple yet effective method to ameliorate these problems.

  We show that the ability of a neural network to integrate information from diverse sources hinges critically on being exposed to properly correlated signals during the early phases of training. We show that critical periods arise from the complex and unstable early transient dynamics, which are decisive of final performance of the trained system and their learned representations.

By evaluating our method on several benchmark datasets, we show that Neuro-BERT improves downstream neurological-related tasks by a large margin.

  A lifelong learning agent is able to continually learn from potentially infinite streams of pattern sensory data.

This problem is known as catastrophic forgetting (interference) and remains an unsolved problem in the domain of machine learning to this day.
