Machine learning applied in the multi-scale 3D stress modelling

On-Device Transfer Learning for Personalising Psychological Stress Modelling using a Convolutional Neural Network

Stress is a growing concern in modern society adversely impacting the wider population more than ever before. The accurate inference of stress may result in the possibility for personalised interventions. However, individual differences between people limits the generalisability of machine learning models to infer emotions as people's physiology when experiencing the same emotions widely varies. In addition, it is time consuming and extremely challenging to collect large datasets of individuals' emotions as it relies on users labelling sensor data in real-time for extended periods. We propose …

Insights on Modelling Physiological, Appraisal, and Affective Indicators of Stress using Audio Features

Stress is a major threat to well-being that manifests in a variety of physiological and mental symptoms. Utilising speech samples collected while the subject is undergoing an induced stress episode has recently shown promising results for the automatic characterisation of individual stress responses. In this work, we introduce new findings that shed light onto whether speech signals are suited to model physiological biomarkers, as obtained via cortisol measurements, or self-assessed appraisal and affect measurements. Our results show that different indicators impact acoustic features in a dive…

An Improved Subject-Independent Stress Detection Model Applied to Consumer-grade Wearable Devices

Stress is a complex issue with wide-ranging physical and psychological impacts on human daily performance. Specifically, acute stress detection is becoming a valuable application in contextual human understanding. Two common approaches to training a stress detection model are subject-dependent and subject-independent training methods. Although subject-dependent training methods have proven to be the most accurate approach to build stress detection models, subject-independent models are a more practical and cost-efficient method, as they allow for the deployment of stress level detection and ma…

Interpretable Deep Learning applied to Plant Stress Phenotyping

Availability of an explainable deep learning model that can be applied to practical real world scenarios and in turn, can consistently, rapidly and accurately identify specific and minute traits in applicable fields of biological sciences, is scarce. Here we consider one such real world example viz., accurate identification, classification and quantification of biotic and abiotic stresses in crop research and production. Up until now, this has been predominantly done manually by visual inspection and require specialized training. However, such techniques are hindered by subjectivity resulting …

Multi-Task Time Series Analysis applied to Drug Response Modelling

Time series models such as dynamical systems are frequently fitted to a cohort of data, ignoring variation between individual entities such as patients. In this paper we show how these models can be personalised to an individual level while retaining statistical power, via use of multi-task learning (MTL). To our knowledge this is a novel development of MTL which applies to time series both with and without control inputs. The modelling framework is demonstrated on a physiological drug response problem which results in improved predictive accuracy and uncertainty estimation over existing state…
