This paper proposes a weakly-supervised machine learning-based approach aiming at a tool to alert patients about possible respiratory diseases. Various types of pathologies may affect the respiratory system, potentially leading to severe…
Internet of Things (IoT) enabled wearable sensors for health monitoring are widely used to reduce the cost of personal healthcare and improve quality of life. The sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, characterized by the abnormal reduction or…
The rapid progress in clinical data management systems and artificial intelligence approaches enable the era of personalized medicine. Intensive care units (ICUs) are the ideal clinical research environment for such development because they…
Motivated by conflicting conclusions regarding hydrocortisone's treatment effect on ICU patients with vasopressor-dependent septic shock, we developed a novel instrumental variable (IV) estimator to assess the average treatment effect (ATE)…
Diabetes is an epidemic disease of the 21st century and is growing globally. Although, final diabetes treatments and cure are still on research phase, related complications of diabetes endanger life of diabetic patients. Diabetic coma which…
There is growing interest in applying machine learning methods to Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Across different institutions, however, EMR quality can vary widely. This work investigated the impact of this disparity on the performance…
Physiological monitoring in intensive care units (ICU) generates data that can be used in clinical research. However, the recording conditions in clinical settings limit the automated extraction of relevant information from physiological…
Objective. We identify two linked problems related to estimating the phase of the alpha rhythm when the signal after a specific event is unknown (real-time case), or corrupted (offline analysis). We propose methods to estimate the phase…
It is challenging to visually detect heart disease from the electrocardiographic (ECG) signals. Implementing an automated ECG signal detection system can help diagnosis arrhythmia in order to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. In this…
Objective: Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring is associated with lower mortality in critically ill patients, however it is underutilized due to the difficulty of manually interpreting prolonged streams of cEEG data. Here we present a novel…
We consider the scenario where important signals are not strong enough to be separable from a large amount of noise. Such weak signals commonly exist in large-scale data analysis and play vital roles in many biomedical applications.…
A new trend in medicine is the use of algorithms to analyze big datasets, e.g. using everything your phone measures about you for diagnostics or monitoring. However, these algorithms are commonly compared against weak baselines, which may…
Frequency hopping (FH) is an effective anti-jamming technology in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). However, it is difficult to significantly increase the anti-jamming results because of the growing crowded spectrum in wireless…
Generating large quantities of quality labeled data in medical imaging is very time consuming and expensive. The performance of supervised algorithms for various tasks on imaging has improved drastically over the years, however the…
Automatic tuning of reverberation algorithms relies on the optimization of a cost function. While general audio similarity metrics are useful, they are not optimized for the specific statistical properties of reverberation in rooms. This…
It is difficult to choose detection thresholds for tests of non-stationarity that assume {\em a priori} a noise model if the data is statistically uncharacterized to begin with. This is a potentially serious problem when an automated…
Background: Invasive coronary arteriography (ICA) is recognized as the gold standard for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, including unstable angina (UA). The challenge lies in determining the optimal timing for ICA in UA patients,…
The monitoring of fetal heart rate (FHR) and the assessment of its variability are crucial for preventing fetal compromise and adverse outcomes. However, traditional methods encounter limitations arising from equipment performance, data…
The diagnosis of heart diseases is a difficult task generally addressed by an appropriate examination of patients clinical data. Recently, the use of heart rate variability (HRV) analysis as well as of some machine learning algorithms, has…
In cyber-physical systems, malicious and resourceful attackers could penetrate the system through cyber means and cause significant physical damage. Consequently, detection of such attacks becomes integral towards making these systems…
