Freezing of Gait (FoG) is a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), manifesting as a brief, episodic absence, or marked reduction in walking, despite a patient’s intention to move. Clinical assessment of FoG events from manual observations by experts is both time-consuming and highly subjective. Therefore, machine learning-based FoG identification methods would be desirable. In this article, we address this task as a fine-grained human action recognition problem based on vision inputs. A novel deep learning architecture, namely, higher order polynomial transformer (HP-Transformer), is ...

Deep learning (DL) based image processing methods have been successfully applied to low-dose x-ray images based on the assumption that the feature distribution of the training data is consistent with that of the test data. However, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) images from different commercial scanners may contain different amounts and types of image noise, violating this assumption. Moreover, in the application of DL based image processing methods to LDCT, the feature distributions of LDCT images from simulation and clinical CT examination can be quite different. Therefore, the network ...

This paper considers task scheduling in solarpowered Internet of things (IoT) networks where devices are capable of sharing energy wirelessly. Our aim is to minimize the completion time of all tasks. We outline a novel mixed integer linear program (MILP) to schedule tasks and determine whether devices share their harvested energy via radio frequency (RF) in each time slot. The MILP considers the coupling between the energy level at devices across time slots. It also considers the dependency of tasks, whereby each task must be executed on a given set of devices in a specific order. Further, we ...

The core issue in semi-supervised learning (SSL) lies in how to effectively leverage unlabeled data, whereas most existing methods tend to put a great emphasis on the utilization of high-confidence samples yet seldom fully explore the usage of low-confidence samples. In this article, we aim to utilize low-confidence samples in a novel way with our proposed mutex-based consistency regularization, namely MutexMatch. Specifically, the high-confidence samples are required to exactly predict “what it is” by the conventional true-positive classifier (TPC), while low-confidence samples are employ...

Cross-domain person re-identification (Re-ID) is a challenging and important task in monitoring safety and procedure compliance of industrial work places. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to reduce background induced domain shift for adaptive person Re-ID. Specifically, a foreground-background joint clustering module is proposed to extract discriminative foreground and background features and an attention-based feature disentanglement module is designed to reduce the interference of background with the extraction of discriminative foreground features. Experimental results on three wid...
