• Abstract: Patient similarity assessment (PSA) is pivotal to evidence-based and personalized medicine, enabled by analyzing the increasingly available electronic health records (EHRs). However, machine learning approaches for PSA has to deal with inherent data deficiencies of EHRs, namely missing values, noise, and small sample sizes. In this work, an end-to-end discriminative learning framework, called SparGE, is proposed to address these data challenges of EHR for PSA. SparGE measures similarity by jointly sparse coding and graph embedding. First, we use low-rank constrained sparse coding to identify and calculate weight for similar patients, while denoising against missing values. Then, graph embedding on sparse representations is adopted to measure the similarity between patient pairs via preserving local relationships defined by distances. Finally, a global cost function is constructed to optimize related parameters. Experimental results on two private and public real-world healthcare datasets, namely SingHEART and MIMIC-III, show that the proposed SparGE significantly outperforms other machine learning patient similarity methods.

  Engagement measurement finds application in healthcare, education, services. Use of physiological and behavioral features is viable, but impracticality of traditional physiological measurement arises due to the need for contact sensors. We demonstrate the feasibility of the unsupervised photoplethysmography (rmography) as an alternative for contact sensors.

• 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.
