Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Animal models are often used in Neuroscience research with the goal of building knowledge that is translatable to human traits and disorders.Emotions have been a topic of major study in Neuroscience since Charles Darwin [1] and contributing to challenges studying it are the expensive labor costs and reproducibility issues associated with quantifying emotionality in popular animal models such as mice.This thesis demonstrates a Deep Learning approach for automatically quantifying negative affect in mice from facial expressions.Many deep learning models rely on manually labeled data, in contrast, the work described here uses lipopolysaccharide injections to create a weakly-labeled video dataset.To mitigate the impact of noise associated with weak labels, we utilize an approach inspired by Deep Set [2] for scoring collections of frames instead of individual images.Our final results indicate the approach can not only detect facial expression changes between control and LPS-injected animals but also between different LPS dosage levels and changes over time.i

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.
