Resource-Efficient Continual Learning for Personalized Online Seizure Detection.

Epilepsy, a major neurological disease, requires careful diagnosis and treatment. However, the detection of epileptic seizures remains a significant challenge. Current clinical practice relies on expert analysis of EEG signals, a process that is time-consuming and requires specialized knowledge.

ACE: Automated Optimization Towards Iterative Classification in Edge Health Monitors.

Wearable devices for health monitoring are essential for tracking individuals' health status and facilitating early detection of diseases. However, processing biomedical signals online for real-time monitoring is challenging due to limited computational resources on edge devices. To address this challenge, we propose an application-agnostic methodology called ACE (Automated optimization towards classification on the Edge).

Event-based sampled ECG morphology reconstruction through self-similarity.

Background And Objective: Event-based analog-to-digital converters allow for sparse bio-signal acquisition, enabling local sub-Nyquist sampling frequency. However, aggressive event selection can cause the loss of important bio-markers, not recoverable with standard interpolation techniques. In this work, we leverage the self-similarity of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal to recover missing features in event-based sampled ECG signals, dynamically selecting patient-representative templates together with a novel dynamic time warping algorithm to infer the morphology of event-based sampled heartbeats.

Using Algorithmic Transformations and Sensitivity Analysis to Unleash Approximations in CNNs at the Edge.

Previous studies have demonstrated that, up to a certain degree, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can tolerate arithmetic approximations. Nonetheless, perturbations must be applied judiciously, to constrain their impact on accuracy. This is a challenging task, since the implementation of inexact operators is often decided at design time, when the application and its robustness profile are unknown, posing the risk of over-constraining or over-provisioning the hardware.
