• Abstract: Assessing the physical condition in rehabilitation scenarios is a challenging problem, since it involves Human Activity Recognition (HAR) and kinematic analysis methods. In addition, the difficulties increase in unconstrained rehabilitation scenarios, which are much closer to the real use cases. In particular, our aim is to design an upper-limb assessment pipeline for stroke patients using smartwatches. We focus on the HAR task, as it is the first part of the assessing pipeline. Our main target is to automatically detect and recognize four key movements inspired by the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale, which are performed in both constrained and unconstrained scenarios. In addition to the application protocol and dataset, we propose two detection and classification baseline methods. We believe that the proposed framework, dataset and baseline results will serve to foster this research field.

  Missingness in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is often hampered by the abundance of missing data in this valuable resource. Existing deep imputation methods rely on end-to-end pipelines that incorporate both imputation and downstream analyses. This paper explores the development of a modular, deep learning-based imputation and classification pipeline.

• Easing Automatic Neurorehabilitation via Classification and Smoothness Analysis [1.44744639843118]
  We propose an automatic assessment pipeline that starts by recognizing patients' movements by means of a shallow deep learning architecture, then measuring the movement quality using jerk measure and related measures. A particularity of this work is that the dataset used is clinically relevant, since it represents movements inspired from Fugl-Meyer a well common upper-limb clinical stroke assessment scale for stroke patients. We show that it is possible to detect the contrast between healthy and patients movements in terms of smoothness, besides achieving conclusions about the patients' progress during the rehabilitation sessions that correspond to the clinicians' findings about each case.

  In this work, we propose a novel Gradient-based Intervention Targeting method, abbreviated GIT. GIT 'trusts' the gradient estimator of a gradient-based causal discovery framework to provide signals for the intervention acquisition function. We provide extensive experiments in simulated and real-world datasets and demonstrate that GIT performs on par with competitive baselines.

  We propose a shape-aware relation network for accurate and real-time landmark detection in endoscopic submucosal dissection surgery. We first devise an algorithm to automatically generate relation keypoint heatmaps, which intuitively represent the prior knowledge of spatial relations among landmarks. We then develop two complementary regularization schemes to progressively incorporate the prior knowledge into the training process.

We apply our objective in four Transformer-based architectures: Contextual Document Vectors, Bi-, Poly- and Cross-encoders. We report that CAPR outperforms strong baselines in the retrieval of domain-specific passages and effectively generalizes across rule-based and human-labeled passages.
