Assessment of Parkinson's Disease Severity from Videos Using Deep Architectures

Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, i.e., bradykinesia, rest tremor, rigidity, etc. Assessment of the severity of PD symptoms with clinical rating scales, however, is subject to inter-rater variability. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based automatic PD diagnosis method using videos to assist the...

Attended end-to-end architecture for age estimation from facial expression videos

The main challenges of age estimation from facial expression videos lie not only in the modeling of the static facial appearance, but also in the capturing of the temporal facial dynamics. Traditional techniques to this problem focus on constructing handcrafted features to explore the discriminative information contained in facial appearance...

Multivariate Time-Series Classification Using the Hidden-Unit Logistic Model

We present a new model for multivariate time-series classification, called the hidden-unit logistic model (HULM), that uses binary stochastic hidden units to model latent structure in the data. The hidden units are connected in a chain structure that models temporal dependencies in the data. Compared with the prior models for time-series...
