Monitoring symptom progression in Parkinson’s Disease using Least Squares Support Vector Regression

Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disease that has a decline in motor behaviour as one of its main symptoms. This decline is currently monitored using subjective measures, such as questionnaires and clinical observations. More detailed and objective tracking of this decline can improve treatment of the disease and allow for earlier...

In Search of Best Learning Curve Model

Learning curves have been used extensively to analyse learners' behaviour and practical tasks such as model selection, speeding up training and tuning models. Nonetheless, we still have a relatively limited understanding of the behaviour of learning curves themselves, in particular, whether there exists a parametric function that can best model...
