• Abstract: Wearable health devices are ushering in a new age of continuous and noninvasive remote monitoring. One application of this technology is in anxiety detection. Many advancements in anxiety detection have happened in controlled lab settings, but noise prevents these advancements from generalizing to real-world conditions. We seek to progress the field by studying how noise impacts model performance and developing models that are robust to noisy, real-world conditions and, hence, attuned to the commotion of everyday life. In this study we look to investigate why and how previous methods have failed. Using the wearable stress and affect detection (WESAD) dataset, we compare the effect of various intensities of noise on machine learning models classifying levels of physiological arousal in the three-class classification problem: baseline vs. stress vs. amusement. Before introducing noise, our baseline model performance reaches 98.7%, compared to Schmidt 2018's 80.3%. We discuss potential sources of this discrepancy in results through a careful evaluation of feature extraction and model architecture choices. Finally, after the introduction of noise, we provide a thorough analysis of the effect of noise on each model architecture.

  In this work, we incorporate this binary information of "existence of noise" as treatment into image classification tasks to improve prediction accuracy.

  This work investigates the impact of different noise levels on the ability of Additive Noise Models to identify the direction of the causal relationship. We use an exhaustive range of models where the level of additive noise gradually changes from 1% to 10000% of the causes' noise level. The results of the experiments show that ANMs methods can fail to capture the true causal direction for some levels of noise.
