• Abstract: This paper presents an approach for detecting unilateral arm paralysis/weakness using kinematic data. Our method employs temporal convolution networks and recurrent neural networks, guided by knowledge distillation, where we use inertial measurement units attached to the body to capture kinematic information such as acceleration, rotation, and flexion of body joints during an action. This information is then analyzed to recognize body actions and patterns. Our proposed network achieves a high paretic detection accuracy of 97.99\%, with an action classification accuracy of 77.69\%, through knowledge sharing. Furthermore, by incorporating causal reasoning, we can gain additional insights into the patient's condition, such as their Fugl-Meyer assessment score or impairment level based on the machine learning result. Overall, our approach demonstrates the potential of using kinematic data and machine learning for detecting arm paralysis/weakness. The results suggest that our method could be a useful tool for clinicians and healthcare professionals working with patients with this condition.

  Active prostheses utilize real-valued, continuous sensor data to recognize patient target poses, or goals, and proactively move the artificial limb. Previous studies have examined how well the data collected in stationary poses, without considering the time steps, can help discriminate the goals. Our approach involves transforming the data into discrete events and training an existing process mining-based goal recognition system.

• 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.

  Both politics and pandemics have recently provided ample motivation for the development of machine learning-enabled disinformation (a.k.a. fake news) detection algorithms. Existing literature has focused primarily on the fully-automated case, but the resulting techniques cannot reliably detect disinformation on the varied topics, sources, and time scales required for military applications. By leveraging an already-available analyst as a human-in-the-loop, canonical machine learning techniques of sentiment analysis, aspect-based sentiment analysis, and stance detection become plausible methods to use for a partially-automated disinformation detection system.

We then develop two complementary regularization schemes to progressively incorporate the prior knowledge into the training process.
