Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Simultaneous proportional detection (SPD), based on surface electromyography (sEMG) signals, is a promising approach that achieves higher performance when trained on complex movements. However, collecting such training data is time-consuming for the user. To enable real-world applications, it is crucial to balance precision and ease of use. This study proposes a data transformation approach to enhance detection performance by transferring knowledge from a pre-existing dataset of complex movements to a simpler movement dataset. So, instead of asking a user to perform a variety of movements each session, a pre-recorded set of complex wrist movements data, including star-shaped trajectories, is used to add richness to a simpler set of wrist movement data requested from the user to perform movements only in X and Y. A linear transformation model is proposed to transfer movement knowledge between datasets, improving accuracy while maintaining the advantages of transfer learning. Experimental results confirm that the proposed knowledge transformation model improves R2performances by 5–10%. Additionally, the approach reduces data acquisition time, enhancing practicality for real-world applications in human-machine interaction, while being effective for both inter-session and inter-subject scenarios.

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.
