• Abstract summary: The research question was: Which input features are used by ML models to classify age-related differences in walking patterns? We utilized a subset of the AIST Gait Database 2019 containing five bilateral ground reaction force (GRF) recordings per person during barefoot walking of healthy participants. The mean classification accuracy of 60.1% was clearly higher than the zero-rule baseline of 37.3%. The confusion matrix shows that the CNN distinguished younger and older adults well, but had difficulty modeling the middle-aged adults.

• Abstract: Machine learning (ML) models have proven effective in classifying gait analysis data, e.g., binary classification of young vs. older adults. ML models, however, lack in providing human understandable explanations for their predictions. This "black-box" behavior impedes the understanding of which input features the model predictions are based on. We investigated an Explainable Artificial Intelligence method, i.e., Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP), for gait analysis data. The research question was: Which input features are used by ML models to classify age-related differences in walking patterns? We utilized a subset of the AIST Gait Database 2019 containing five bilateral ground reaction force (GRF) recordings per person during barefoot walking of healthy participants. Each input signal was min-max normalized before concatenation and fed into a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Participants were divided into three age groups: young (20-39 years), middle-aged (40-64 years), and older (65-79 years) adults. The classification accuracy and relevance scores (derived using LRP) were averaged over a stratified ten-fold cross-validation. The mean classification accuracy of 60.1% was clearly higher than the zero-rule baseline of 37.3%. The confusion matrix shows that the CNN distinguished younger and older adults well, but had difficulty modeling the middle-aged adults.

  We propose a new evaluation method, Counterfactual Attentiveness Test (CAT) CAT uses counterfactuals by replacing part of the input with its counterpart from a different example, expecting an attentive model to change its prediction. We show that GPT3 becomes less attentive with an increased number of demonstrations, while its accuracy on the test data improves.

  We introduce an experimental approach to dealing with skewed datasets by including humans in the training process. We ask humans to rank the importance of features of the dataset, and through rank aggregation, determine the initial weight bias for the model. We show that collective human bias can allow ML models to learn insights about the true population instead of the biased sample.

We propose a two-stage training method named Long-tailed Age Estimation (LAE), which decouples the learning procedure into representation learning and classification.
