Abstract
Freezing of Gait (FoG) is a common symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), manifesting as a brief, episodic absence, or marked reduction in walking, despite a patient's intention to move. Clinical assessment of FoG events from manual observations by experts is both time-consuming and highly subjective. Therefore, machine learning-based FoG identification methods would be desirable. In this article, we address this task as a fine-grained human action recognition problem based on vision inputs. A novel deep learning architecture, namely, higher order polynomial transformer (HP-Transformer), is proposed to incorporate pose and appearance feature sequences to formulate fine-grained FoG patterns. In particular, a higher order self-attention mechanism is proposed based on higher order polynomials. To this end, linear, bilinear, and trilinear transformers are formulated in pursuit of discriminative fine-grained representations. These representations are treated as multiple streams and further fused by a cross-order fusion strategy for FoG detection. Comprehensive experiments on a large in-house dataset collected during clinical assessments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.92 is achieved for detecting FoG.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
