Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present a low-latency tremor-state estimator that couples a three-block spatio-temporal graph convolutional network (ST-GCN) with a two-state hidden Markov model (HMM). Trained on 4887 lower-arm IMU windows from 34 Parkinson's disease and control subjects performing activities of daily living (ADLs), the pipeline attains an AUC of 0.70 on held-out subjects and improves negative log-likelihood (NLL) and precision over FFT-threshold, Bayesian, LSTM, and standalone ST-GCN baselines. Under an embedded, causal streaming deployment, INT8 inference on a Jetson Nano is projected to fit within a sub 80 ms sensor-to-actuator budget, with ST-GCN compute contributing sub 15 ms. To our knowledge, this is among the first reports fusing ST-GCN features with probabilistic temporal smoothing for wearable tremor suppression in free-motion ADLs, emphasizing calibrated posteriors for safe actuator triggering.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
