Automatic Post-Stroke Severity Assessment Using Novel Unsupervised Consensus Learning for Wearable and Camera-Based Sensor Datasets
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Stroke survivors often suffer from movement impairments that significantly affect their daily activities. The advancements in sensor technology and IoT have provided opportunities to automate the assessment and rehabilitation process for stroke survivors. This paper aims to provide a smart post-stroke severity assessment using AI-driven models. With the absence of labelled data and expert assessment, there is a research gap in providing virtual assessment, especially for unlabeled data. Inspired by the advances in consensus learning, in this paper, we propose a consensus clustering algorithm, PSA-NMF, that combines various clusterings into one united clustering, i.e., cluster consensus, to produce more stable and robust results compared to individual clustering. This paper is the first to investigate severity level using unsupervised learning and trunk displacement features in the frequency domain for post-stroke smart assessment. Two different methods of data collection from the U-limb datasets-the camera-based method (Vicon) and wearable sensor-based technology (Xsens)-were used. The trunk displacement method labelled each cluster based on the compensatory movements that stroke survivors employed for their daily activities. The proposed method uses the position and acceleration data in the frequency domain. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed clustering method that uses the post-stroke assessment approach increased the evaluation metrics such as accuracy and F-score. These findings can lead to a more effective and automated stroke rehabilitation process that is suitable for clinical settings, thus improving the quality of life for stroke survivors.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
