Fetal well-being during labor is currently assessed by medical professionals through visual interpretation of the cardiotocogram (CTG), a simultaneous recording of Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) and Uterine Contractions (UC). This method is disputed due to high inter- and intra-observer variability and a resulting increase in the number of unnecessary interventions. A method for computerized interpretation of the CTG, based on Contrastive Predictive Coding (CPC) is presented here.

We present metamer identification plus (metaID+), an algorithm that enhances the performance of brain-computer interface (BCI)-based color vision assessment. BCI-based color vision assessment uses steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) elicited during a grid search of colors to identify metamers—light sources with different spectral distributions that appear to be the same color. Present BCI-based color vision assessment methods are slow; they require extensive data collection for each color in the grid search to reduce measurement noise.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is one of the most common neuromuscular diseases which affects both lower and upper motor neurons. In this paper, a dilated one dimensional convolutional neural network, named ALSNet, is proposed for identifying ALS from raw EMG signal. No hand-crafted feature extraction is required, rather, ALSNet is able to take raw EMG signal as input and detect EMG signals of ALS subjects. This makes the method more feasible for practical implementation by reducing the computational cost required for extracting features.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a powerful technique for non-invasive 3D imaging of biological tissues at high resolution that has revolutionized retinal imaging. A major challenge in OCT imaging is the motion artifacts introduced by involuntary eye movements. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network that learns to correct axial motion in OCT based on a single volumetric scan. The proposed method is able to correct large motion, while preserving the overall curvature of the retina.

Identifying uterine contractions with the aid of machine learning methods is necessary vis-á-vis their use in combination with fetal heart rates and other clinical data for the assessment of a fetus wellbeing. In this paper, we study contraction identification by processing noisy signals due to uterine activities. We propose a complete four-step method where we address the imbalanced classification problem with an ensemble Gaussian process classifier, where the Gaussian process latent variable model is used as a decision-maker.
