In the recent past, research focused extensively on non-invasive PPG-based approaches to blood pressure estimation. We argue that BP classification might provide diagnostic value that is equivalent to regression in many clinically relevant scenarios.

• Abstract: Photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals offer diagnostic potential beyond heart rate analysis or blood oxygen level monitoring. In the recent past, research focused extensively on non-invasive PPG-based approaches to blood pressure (BP) estimation. These approaches can be subdivided into regression and classification methods. The latter assign PPG signals to predefined BP intervals that represent clinically relevant ranges. The former predict systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP as continuous variables and are of particular interest to the research community. However, the reported accuracies of BP regression methods vary widely among publications with some authors even questioning the feasibility of PPG-based BP regression altogether. In our work, we compare BP regression and classification approaches. We argue that BP classification might provide diagnostic value that is equivalent to regression in many clinically relevant scenarios while being similar or even superior in terms of performance. We compare several established neural architectures using publicly available PPG data for SBP regression and classification with and without personalization using subject-specific data. We found that classification and regression models perform similar before personalization. However, after personalization, the accuracy of classification based methods outperformed regression approaches. We conclude that BP classification might be preferable over BP regression in certain scenarios where a coarser segmentation of the BP range is sufficient.

  Policy gradient (PG) methods significantly benefit from IS, enabling the effective reuse of previously collected samples. However, IS is employed in RL as a passive tool for re-weighting historical samples. We look for the best behavioral policy from which to collect samples to reduce the policy gradient variance.

• Deep Imbalanced Regression via Hierarchical Classification Adjustment [50.19438850112964]
  Regression tasks in computer vision are often formulated into classification by quantizing the target space into classes. The majority of training samples lie in a head range of target values, while a minority of samples span a usually larger tail range. We propose to construct hierarchical classifiers for solving imbalanced regression tasks. Our novel hierarchical classification adjustment (HCA) for imbalanced regression shows superior results on three diverse tasks.

  We propose an approach to estimate the number of samples required for a model to reach a target performance. We find that the power law, the de facto principle to estimate model performance, leads to large error when using a small dataset. We introduce a novel piecewise power law (PPL) that handles the two data differently.

  This work aims to analyze the PPG- and r-based BP prediction error with respect to the underlying data distribution. We train established neural network (NN) architectures and derive an appropriate parameterization of input segments drawn from continuous PPG signals. Second, we apply this parameterization to a larger PPG dataset and train NNs to predict BP. Third, we use transfer learning to train the NNs for r-based BP prediction. The resulting performances are similar to the PPG-only case.
