Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Walking in an unfamiliar environment may include some risks of falling. For frail seniors, these risks can be significantly increased according to their ability to maintain balance. Among several factors, the user's balance can be affected by several risks including the characteristics of the user's gait. To evaluate this issue, this paper presents three methods. The first uses a statistical model while the two others exploit an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The latter two can be differentiated by the use of constraints applied onto the raw data. Centered on non-invasive augmented shoes, our proposed system uses mobile technology to provide an on-site assistance to users, replacing the bulky equipment usually needed for clinical gait analysis. The experimental framework is based on visual disturbances to induce variation in the parameters of the user's gait. Preliminary results obtained from this framework suggest that our models enable a risk level classification.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
