• Abstract: Assessing gross motor development in toddlers is crucial for understanding their physical development and identifying potential developmental delays or disorders. However, existing datasets for action recognition primarily focus on adults, lacking the diversity and specificity required for accurate assessment in toddlers. In this paper, we present ToddlerAct, a toddler gross motor action recognition dataset, aiming to facilitate research in early childhood development. The dataset consists of video recordings capturing a variety of gross motor activities commonly observed in toddlers aged under three years old. We describe the data collection process, annotation methodology, and dataset characteristics. Furthermore, we benchmarked multiple state-of-the-art methods including image-based and skeleton-based action recognition methods on our datasets. Our findings highlight the importance of domain-specific datasets for accurate assessment of gross motor development in toddlers and lay the foundation for future research in this critical area. Our dataset will be available at https://github.com/ipl-uw/ToddlerAct.

  We introduce a novel task known as neural lineage detection, aiming at discovering lineage relationships between parent and child models. For practical convenience, we introduce a learning-free approach, which integrates an approximation of the finetuning process into the neural network representation similarity metrics. For the pursuit of accuracy, we introduce a learning-based lineage detector comprising encoders and a transformer detector.

  evaluating a baby's movements is key to understanding possible risks of developmental disorders in their growth. Previous research in psychology has shown that measuring specific movements or gestures such as face touches in babies is essential to analyse how babies understand themselves and their context. This research proposes the first automatic approach that detects face touches from video recordings by tracking infants' movements and gestures.

We test our method on 13,750 3D brain MR images from the UK Biobank, and our findings are consistent with the existing neuropathology literature.
