Transportation mode recognition fusing wearable motion, sound and vision sensors
We present the first work that investigates the potential of improving the performance of transportation mode recognition through fusing multimodal data from wearable sensors: motion, sound and vision. We first train three independent deep neural network (DNN) classifiers, which work with the three types of sensors, respectively. We then propose two schemes that fuse the classification results from the three mono-modal classifiers. The first scheme makes an ensemble decision with fixed rules including Sum, Product, Majority Voting, and Borda Count. The second scheme is an adaptive fuser built as another classifier (including Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, Random Forest and Neural Network) that learns enhanced predictions by combining the outputs from the three mono-modal classifiers. We verify the advantage of the proposed method with the state-of-the-art Sussex-Huawei Locomotion and Transportation (SHL) dataset recognizing the eight transportation activities: Still, Walk, Run, Bike, Bus, Car, Train and Subway. We achieve F1 scores of 79.4%, 82.1% and 72.8% with the mono-modal motion, sound and vision classifiers, respectively. The F1 score is remarkably improved to 94.5% and 95.5% by the two data fusion schemes, respectively. The recognition performance can be further improved with a post-processing scheme that exploits the temporal continuity of transportation. When assessing generalization of the model to unseen data, we show that while performance is reduced - as expected - for each individual classifier, the benefits of fusion are retained with performance improved by 15 percentage points. Besides the actual performance increase, this work, most importantly, opens up the possibility for dynamically fusing modalities to achieve distinct power-performance trade-off at run time
Deep Learning in Cardiology
The medical field is creating large amount of data that physicians are unable
to decipher and use efficiently. Moreover, rule-based expert systems are
inefficient in solving complicated medical tasks or for creating insights using
big data. Deep learning has emerged as a more accurate and effective technology
in a wide range of medical problems such as diagnosis, prediction and
intervention. Deep learning is a representation learning method that consists
of layers that transform the data non-linearly, thus, revealing hierarchical
relationships and structures. In this review we survey deep learning
application papers that use structured data, signal and imaging modalities from
cardiology. We discuss the advantages and limitations of applying deep learning
in cardiology that also apply in medicine in general, while proposing certain
directions as the most viable for clinical use.Comment: 27 pages, 2 figures, 10 table
Multi-View Region Adaptive Multi-temporal DMM and RGB Action Recognition
Human action recognition remains an important yet challenging task. This work
proposes a novel action recognition system. It uses a novel Multiple View
Region Adaptive Multi-resolution in time Depth Motion Map (MV-RAMDMM)
formulation combined with appearance information. Multiple stream 3D
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are trained on the different views and
time resolutions of the region adaptive Depth Motion Maps. Multiple views are
synthesised to enhance the view invariance. The region adaptive weights, based
on localised motion, accentuate and differentiate parts of actions possessing
faster motion. Dedicated 3D CNN streams for multi-time resolution appearance
information (RGB) are also included. These help to identify and differentiate
between small object interactions. A pre-trained 3D-CNN is used here with
fine-tuning for each stream along with multiple class Support Vector Machines
(SVM)s. Average score fusion is used on the output. The developed approach is
capable of recognising both human action and human-object interaction. Three
public domain datasets including: MSR 3D Action,Northwestern UCLA multi-view
actions and MSR 3D daily activity are used to evaluate the proposed solution.
The experimental results demonstrate the robustness of this approach compared
with state-of-the-art algorithms.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, 13 tables. Submitte
