The unknown composition of residual muscles surrounding the stump of an amputee makes optimal electrode placement challenging. This often causes the experimental set-up and calibration of upper-limb prostheses to be time consuming. In this work, we propose the use of existing dimensionality reduction techniques, typically used for muscle synergy analysis, to provide meaningful real-time functional information of the residual muscles during the calibration period. Two variations of principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to electromyography (EMG) data collected during a myoelectric task. Candid covariance-free incremental PCA (CCIPCA) detected task-specific muscle synergies with high accuracy using minimal amounts of data. Our findings offer a real-time solution towards optimizing calibration periods.

Wireless Sensors Networks have been the focus of significant attention from research and development due to their applications of collecting data from various fields such as smart cities, power grids, transportation systems, medical sectors, military, and rural areas. Accurate and reliable measurements for insightful data analysis and decision-making are the ultimate goals of sensor networks for critical domains. However, the raw data collected by WSNs usually are not reliable and inaccurate due to the imperfect nature of WSNs.

Traditionally, learning speech synthesis and speech recognition were investigated as two separate tasks. This separation hinders incremental development for concurrent synthesis and recognition, where partially-learned synthesis and partially-learned recognition must help each other throughout lifelong learning. This work is a paradigm shift-we treat synthesis and recognition as two intertwined aspects of a lifelong learning agent.

We introduce here an incremental version of slow feature analysis (IncSFA), combining candid covariance-free incremental principal components analysis (CCIPCA) and covariance-free incremental minor components analysis (CIMCA). IncSFA's feature updating complexity is linear with respect to the input dimensionality, while batch SFA's (BSFA) updating complexity is cubic. IncSFA does not need to store, or even compute, any covariance matrices.
