• Abstract summary: Large-scale medical studies such as the UK Biobank examine thousands of volunteer participants with medical imaging techniques. Recent approaches with convolutional neural networks for regression can perform these evaluations automatically. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of more than 40,000 UK Biobank subjects, these systems can estimate human age, body composition and more.

• Abstract: Large-scale medical studies such as the UK Biobank examine thousands of volunteer participants with medical imaging techniques. Combined with the vast amount of collected metadata, anatomical information from these images has the potential for medical analyses at unprecedented scale. However, their evaluation often requires manual input and long processing times, limiting the amount of reference values for biomarkers and other measurements available for research. Recent approaches with convolutional neural networks for regression can perform these evaluations automatically. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of more than 40,000 UK Biobank subjects, these systems can estimate human age, body composition and more. This style of analysis is almost entirely data-driven and no manual intervention or guidance with manually segmented ground truth images is required. The networks often closely emulate the reference method that provided their training data and can reach levels of agreement comparable to the expected variability between established medical gold standard techniques. The risk of silent failure can be individually quantified by predictive uncertainty obtained from a mean-variance criterion and ensembling. Saliency analysis furthermore enables an interpretation of the underlying relevant image features and showed that the networks learned to correctly target specific organs, limbs, and regions of interest.

• Pain level and pain-related behaviour classification using GRU-based sparsely-connected RNNs [61.080598804629375]
  People with chronic pain unconsciously adapt specific body movements to protect themselves from injury or additional pain. Because there is no dedicated benchmark database to analyse this correlation, we considered one of the specific circumstances that potentially influence a person's biometrics during daily activities. We proposed a sparsely-connected recurrent neural networks (s-RNNs) ensemble with the gated recurrent unit (GRU) that incorporates multiple autoencoders. We conducted several experiments which indicate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in classifying both pain level and pain-related behaviour.
