• Title: Cross Your Body: A Cognitive Assessment System for Children
• Authors: Saif Sayed and Vassilis Athitsos
• Abstract summary: We created a system called Cross-Your-Body and recorded data, which is imprecise in several aspects. The videos capture real-world usage, as they record children performing tasks during real-world assessment by psychologists. It is our goal that this system will be useful in advancing research in cognitive assessment of kids.

• Abstract: While many action recognition techniques have great success on public benchmarks, such performance is not necessarily replicated in real-world scenarios, where the data comes from specific application requirements. The specific real-world application that we are focusing on in this paper is cognitive assessment in children using cognitively demanding physical tasks. We created a system called Cross-Your-Body and recorded data, which is unique in several aspects, including the fact that the tasks have been designed by psychologists, the subjects are children, and the videos capture real-world usage, as they record children performing tasks during real-world assessment by psychologists. Other distinguishing features of our system is that it's scores can directly be translated to measure executive functioning which is one of the key factor to distinguish onset of ADHD in adolescent kids. Due to imprecise execution of actions performed by children, and the presence of fine-grained motion patterns, we systematically investigate and evaluate relevant methods on the recorded data. It is our goal that this system will be useful in advancing research in cognitive assessment of kids.

  We show that a vision-based problem behaviors recognition system can achieve high accuracy and outperform the previous methods by a large margin. We propose a two-branch multimodal deep learning framework by incorporating the "freely available" language description for each type of problem behavior. Experimental results demonstrate that incorporating additional language supervision can bring an obvious performance boost for the autism problem behaviors recognition task.
