• Abstract summary: We propose a fully end-to-end transformer-based method for extracting r signals by explicitly leveraging the quasi-periodic nature of r periodicity. A fusion stem is proposed to guide self-attention to r features effectively, and it can be easily transferred to existing methods to enhance their performance significantly.

• Abstract: Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a non-contact method for detecting physiological signals based on facial videos, holding high potential in various applications such as healthcare, affective computing, anti-spoofing, etc. Due to the periodicity nature of rPPG, the long-range dependency capturing capacity of the Transformer was assumed to be advantageous for such signals. However, existing approaches have not conclusively demonstrated the superior performance of Transformer over traditional convolutional neural network methods, this gap may stem from a lack of thorough exploration of rPPG periodicity. In this paper, we propose RhythmFormer, a fully end-to-end transformer-based method for extracting rPPG signals by explicitly leveraging the quasi-periodic nature of rPPG. The core module, Hierarchical Temporal Periodic Transformer, hierarchically extracts periodic features from multiple temporal scales. It utilizes dynamic sparse attention based on periodicity in the temporal domain, allowing for fine-grained modeling of rPPG features. Furthermore, a fusion stem is proposed to guide self-attention to rPPG features effectively, and it can be easily transferred to existing methods to enhance their performance significantly. RhythmFormer achieves state-of-the-art performance with fewer parameters and reduced computational complexity in comprehensive experiments compared to previous approaches.

  Self-attention mechanism in Transformer architecture requires positional embeddings to encode temporal order in time series prediction. We argue that this reliance on positional embeddings restricts the Transformer's ability to effectively represent temporal sequences. We present a model integrating PRE with a standard Transformer encoder, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance on various real-world datasets.

  abstraction-based solutions based on Gaussian process (GP) regression have become popular for their ability to learn a representation of the latent system from data with a quantified error. We show that the binary-tree Gaussian process (BTGP) allows us to construct an interval Markov chain model of the unknown system. We provide a delocalized error quantification via a unified formula even when the true dynamics do not live in the function space of the BTGP.

  Gait recognition aims to distinguish different walking patterns by analyzing video-level human silhouettes, rather than relying on appearance information. Previous research has primarily focused on extracting local or global-temporal representations, while overlooking the intrinsic periodic features of gait sequences. We propose a plug-and-play strategy, called Temporal Periodic Alignment (TPA), which leverages the periodic nature and fine-grained temporal dependencies of gait patterns.

  This paper addresses the task of anomaly diagnosis when the underlying data generation process has a complex-temporal (ST) dependency. We formalize the problem as supervised dependency discovery, where the ST dependency is learned as a side product of time-series classification. We show that temporal positional encoding used in existing ST transformer works has a serious limitation capturing frequencies in higher frequencies (short time scales) We also propose a new ST dependency discovery framework, which can provide readily consumable diagnostic information in both spatial and temporal directions.

  Our facial skin presents subtle color change known as remote Photoplethys (r) signal, from which we could extract the heart rate of the subject. Recently many deep learning methods and related datasets on r signal extraction are proposed. However, because of the time consumption blood flowing through our body and other factors, label waves such as BVP signals have uncertain delays with real r signals in some datasets. In this paper, by analyzing the common characteristics on rhythm and periodicity of r signals and label waves, we propose a whole set of training methodology which wraps these networks so that they could remain efficient when be trained at
