$textbf{Objective}$: To develop a multi-channel device event segmentation and feature extraction algorithm that is robust to changes in data distribution. $textbf{Methods}$: We introduce an adaptive transfer learning algorithm to classify and segment events from non-stationary multi-channel temporal data. Using a multivariate hidden Markov model (HMM) and Fishers linear discriminant analysis (FLDA) the algorithm adaptively adjusts to shifts in distribution over time. The proposed algorithm is unsupervised and learns to label events without requiring $textit{a priori}$ information about true event states. The procedure is illustrated on experimental data collected from a cohort in a human viral challenge (HVC) study, where certain subjects have disrupted wake and sleep patterns after exposure to a H1N1 influenza pathogen. $textbf{Results}$: Simulations establish that the proposed adaptive algorithm significantly outperforms other event classification methods. When applied to early time points in the HVC data the algorithm extracts sleep/wake features that are predictive of both infection and infection onset time. $textbf{Conclusion}$: The proposed transfer learning event segmentation method is robust to temporal shifts in data distribution and can be used to produce highly discriminative event-labeled features for health monitoring. $textbf{Significance}$: Our integrated multisensor signal processing and transfer learning method is applicable to many ambulatory monitoring applications.

Event detection is the first step in event-based non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) and it can provide useful transient information to identify appliances. However, existing event detection methods with fixed parameters may fail in case of unpredictable and complicated residential load changes such as high fluctuation, long transition, and near simultaneity. This paper proposes a dynamic time-window approach to deal with these highly complex load variations. Specifically, a window with adaptive margins, multi-timescale window screening, and adaptive threshold (WAMMA) method is proposed to detect events in aggregated home appliance load data with high sampling rate (>1Hz). The proposed method accurately captures the transient process by adaptively tuning parameters including window width, margin width, and change threshold. Furthermore, representative transient and steady-state load signatures are extracted and, for the first time, quantified from transient and steady periods segmented by detected events. Case studies on a 20Hz dataset, the 50Hz LIFTED dataset, and the 60Hz BLUED dataset show that the proposed method can robustly outperform other state-of-art event detection methods. This paper also shows that the extracted load signatures can improve NILM accuracy and help develop other applications such as load reconstruction to generate realistic load data for NILM research.
We introduce a physics-guided signal processing approach to extract a damage-sensitive and domain-invariant (DS & DI) feature from acceleration response data of a vehicle traveling over a bridge to assess bridge health. Motivated by indirect sensing methods benefits, such as low-cost and low-maintenance, vehicle-vibration-based bridge health monitoring has been studied to efficiently monitor bridges in real-time. Yet applying this approach is challenging because 1) physics-based features extracted manually are generally not damage-sensitive, and 2) features from machine learning techniques are often not applicable to different bridges. Thus, we formulate a vehicle bridge interaction system model and find a physics-guided DS & DI feature, which can be extracted using the synchrosqueezed wavelet transform representing non-stationary signals as intrinsic-mode-type components. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed feature with simulated experiments. Compared to conventional time- and frequency-domain features, our feature provides the best damage quantification and localization results across different bridges in five of six experiments.
For artificial intelligence-based image analysis methods to reach clinical applicability, the development of high-performance algorithms is crucial. For example, existent segmentation algorithms based on natural images are neither efficient in their parameter use nor optimized for medical imaging. Here we present MoNet, a highly optimized neural-network-based pancreatic segmentation algorithm focused on achieving high performance by efficient multi-scale image feature utilization.
Existing learning-based methods to automatically trace axons in 3D brain imagery often rely on manually annotated segmentation labels. Labeling is a labor-intensive process and is not scalable to whole-brain analysis, which is needed for improved understanding of brain function. We propose a self-supervised auxiliary task that utilizes the tube-like structure of axons to build a feature extractor from unlabeled data. The proposed auxiliary task constrains a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict the order of permuted slices in an input 3D volume. By solving this task, the 3D CNN is able to learn features without ground-truth labels that are useful for downstream segmentation with the 3D U-Net model. To the best of our knowledge, our model is the first to perform automated segmentation of axons imaged at subcellular resolution with the SHIELD technique. We demonstrate improved segmentation performance over the 3D U-Net model on both the SHIELD PVGPe dataset and the BigNeuron Project, single neuron Janelia dataset.
Spike sorting plays an irreplaceable role in understanding brain codes. Traditional spike sorting technologies perform feature extraction and clustering separately after spikes are well detected. However, it may often cause many additional processes and further lead to low-accurate and/or unstable results especially when there are noises and/or overlapping spikes in datasets. To address these issues, in this paper, we proposed a unified optimisation model integrating feature extraction and clustering for spike sorting. Interestingly, instead of the widely used combination strategies, i.e., performing the principal component analysis (PCA) for spike feature extraction and K-means (KM) for clustering in sequence, we unified PCA and KM into one optimisation model, which reduces additional processes with fewer iteration times. Subsequently, by embedding the K-means++ strategy for initialising and a comparison updating rule in the solving process, the proposed model can well handle the noises and/or overlapping interference. Finally, taking the best of the clustering validity indices into the proposed model, we derive an automatic spike sorting method. Plenty of experimental results on both synthetic and real-world datasets confirm that our proposed method outperforms the related state-of-the-art approaches.
