Falls have serious consequences and are prevalent in acute hospitals and nursing homes caring for older people. Most falls occur in bedrooms and near the bed. Technological interventions to mitigate the risk of falling aim to automatically monitor bed-exit events and subsequently alert healthcare personnel to provide timely supervisions. We observe that frequency-domain information related to patient activities exist predominantly in very low frequencies. Therefore, we recognise the potential to employ a low resolution acceleration sensing modality in contrast to powering and sensing with a conventional MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) accelerometer. Consequently, we investigate a batteryless sensing modality with low cost wirelessly powered Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with the potential for convenient integration into clothing, such as hospital gowns. We design and build a passive accelerometer-based RFID sensor embodiment---ID-Sensor---for our study. The sensor design allows deriving ultra low resolution acceleration data from the rate of change of unique RFID tag identifiers in accordance with the movement of a patients upper body. We investigate two convolutional neural network architectures for learning from raw RFID-only data streams and compare performance with a traditional shallow classifier with engineered features. We evaluate performance with 23 hospitalized older patients. We demonstrate, for the first time and to the best of knowledge, that: i) the low resolution acceleration data embedded in the RF powered ID-Sensor data stream can provide a practicable method for activity recognition; and ii) highly discriminative features can be efficiently learned from the raw RFID-only data stream using a fully convolutional network architecture.

Hyperspectral super-resolution (HSR) is a problem that aims to estimate an image of high spectral and spatial resolutions from a pair of co-registered multispectral (MS) and hyperspectral (HS) images, which have coarser spectral and spatial resolutions, respectively. In this paper we pursue a low-rank matrix estimation approach for HSR. We assume that the spectral-spatial matrices associated with the whole image and the local areas of the image have low-rank structures. The local low-rank assumption, in particular, has the aim of providing a more flexible model for accounting for local variation effects due to endmember variability. We formulate the HSR problem as a global-local rank-regularized least-squares problem. By leveraging on the recent advances in non-convex large-scale optimization, namely, the smooth Schatten-p approximation and the accelerated majorization-minimization method, we develop an efficient algorithm for the global-local low-rank problem. Numerical experiments on synthetic, semi-real and real data show that the proposed algorithm outperforms a number of benchmark algorithms in terms of recovery performance.
Lyme disease is a rapidly growing illness that remains poorly understood within the medical community. Critical questions about when and why patients respond to treatment or stay ill, what kinds of treatments are effective, and even how to properly diagnose the disease remain largely unanswered. We investigate these questions by applying machine learning techniques to a large scale Lyme disease patient registry, MyLymeData, developed by the nonprofit LymeDisease.org. We apply various machine learning methods in order to measure the effect of individual features in predicting participants answers to the Global Rating of Change (GROC) survey questions that assess the self-reported degree to which their condition improved, worsened, or remained unchanged following antibiotic treatment. We use basic linear regression, support vector machines, neural networks, entropy-based decision tree models, and $k$-nearest neighbors approaches. We first analyze the general performance of the model and then identify the most important features for predicting participant answers to GROC. After we identify the key features, we separate them from the dataset and demonstrate the effectiveness of these features at identifying GROC. In doing so, we highlight possible directions for future study both mathematically and clinically.
We designed and implemented a deep learning based RF signal classifier on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) of an embedded software-defined radio platform, DeepRadio, that classifies the signals received through the RF front end to different modulation types in real time and with low power. This classifier implementation successfully captures complex characteristics of wireless signals to serve critical applications in wireless security and communications systems such as identifying spoofing signals in signal authentication systems, detecting target emitters and jammers in electronic warfare (EW) applications, discriminating primary and secondary users in cognitive radio networks, interference hunting, and adaptive modulation. Empowered by low-power and low-latency embedded computing, the deep neural network runs directly on the FPGA fabric of DeepRadio, while maintaining classifier accuracy close to the software performance. We evaluated the performance when another SDR (USRP) transmits signals with different modulation types at different power levels and DeepRadio receives the signals and classifies them in real time on its FPGA. A smartphone with a mobile app is connected to DeepRadio to initiate the experiment and visualize the classification results. With real radio transmissions over the air, we show that the classifier implemented on DeepRadio achieves high accuracy with low latency (microsecond per sample) and low energy consumption (microJoule per sample), and this performance is not matched by other embedded platforms such as embedded graphics processing unit (GPU).
Hyperspectral (HS) images contain detailed spectral information that has proven crucial in applications like remote sensing, surveillance, and astronomy. However, because of hardware limitations of HS cameras, the captured images have low spatial resolution. To improve them, the low-resolution hyperspectral images are fused with conventional high-resolution RGB images via a technique known as fusion based HS image super-resolution. Currently, the best performance in this task is achieved by deep learning (DL) methods. Such methods, however, cannot guarantee that the input measurements are satisfied in the recovered image, since the learned parameters by the network are applied to every test image. Conversely, model-based algorithms can typically guarantee such measurement consistency. Inspired by these observations, we propose a framework that integrates learning and model based methods. Experimental results show that our method produces images of superior spatial and spectral resolution compared to the current leading methods, whether model- or DL-based.
We show that compact fully connected (FC) deep learning networks trained to classify wireless protocols using a hierarchy of multiple denoising autoencoders (AEs) outperform reference FC networks trained in a typical way, i.e., with a stochastic gradient based optimization of a given FC architecture. Not only is the complexity of such FC network, measured in number of trainable parameters and scalar multiplications, much lower than the reference FC and residual models, its accuracy also outperforms both models for nearly all tested SNR values (0 dB to 50dB). Such AE-trained networks are suited for in-situ protocol inference performed by simple mobile devices based on noisy signal measurements. Training is based on the data transmitted by real devices, and collected in a controlled environment, and systematically augmented by a policy-based data synthesis process by adding to the signal any subset of impairments commonly seen in a wireless receiver.
