• Abstract summary: Orthopedic disorders are a common cause for euthanasia among horses. It is challenging to train a visual pain recognition method with video data depicting such pain. We show that transferring features from a dataset of horses with acute nociceptive pain can aid the learning to recognize more complex orthopedic pain.

• Abstract: Orthopedic disorders are a common cause for euthanasia among horses, which often could have been avoided with earlier detection. These conditions often create varying degrees of subtle but long-term pain. It is challenging to train a visual pain recognition method with video data depicting such pain, since the resulting pain behavior also is subtle, sparsely appearing, and varying, making it challenging for even an expert human labeler to provide accurate ground-truth for the data. We show that transferring features from a dataset of horses with acute nociceptive pain (where labeling is less ambiguous) can aid the learning to recognize more complex orthopedic pain. Moreover, we present a human expert baseline for the problem, as well as an extensive empirical study of various domain transfer methods and of what is detected by the pain recognition method trained on acute pain in the orthopedic dataset. Finally, this is accompanied with a discussion around the challenges posed by real-world animal behavior datasets and how best practices can be established for similar fine-grained action recognition tasks.

  Occluded body parts can affect gait recognition from uncontrolled outdoor sequences at range. Most current methods assume the availability of complete body information while extracting the gait features. We propose an occlusion aware gait recognition method which can be used to model intrinsic occlusion awareness into potentially any state-of-the-art gait recognition method.

Diagnose is both a long-tailed and multi-label problem, as patients often present with multiple findings. We synthesize common themes, providing recommendations for long-tailed, multi-label medical image classification.

• 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.

  This paper introduces the first chronic cancer pain dataset, collected as part of the Intelligent Sight and Sound (ISS) clinical trial. The data collected to date consists of 29 patients, 509 smartphone videos, 189,999 frames, and self-reported affective and activity pain scores. Using static images and multi-modal data to predict self-reported pain levels, early models show significant gaps between current methods available to predict pain.

  Chronic pain is recognized as a major health problem, with impacts not only at the economic, but also at the social, and individual levels. Being a private and subjective experience, it is impossible to externally and impartially experience, describe, and interpret chronic pain as a purely noxious stimulus. We propose and discuss a topic modelling approach to recognize patterns in verbal descriptions of chronic pain, and use these patterns to quantify and qualify experiences of pain.

This paper proposes a pragmatic equine pain classification system using video of the unobserved horse and weak labels.

We argue that our unsupervised semantic analysis of descriptions of chronic pain echoes clinical research on how different pathologies manifest in terms of the chronic pain experience.

We theoretically analyze the generalization performance of the proposed method, and also empirically evaluate it on both medical and general images.
