Abstract: Topological Deep Learning (TDL) has emerged as a powerful tool in medical imaging, promising a revolution in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This talk explores the potential of TDL in advancing medical imaging, emphasizing its role in improving human-computer interaction (HCI) in healthcare. TDL leverages the intricate geometric and topological structures underlying data, enhancing the predictive power of traditional deep learning models. The integration of TDL into healthcare presents an opportunity to optimize diagnostic accuracy, minimize human error, and offer personalized treatment plans. This talk also discusses the significance of intuitive HCI approaches in medical imaging, critical in facilitating seamless interaction between healthcare professionals and complex AI systems. Creating intelligent interfaces that enable the interpretation of TDL outputs and support clinical decision-making achieves this. The potential challenges and ethical considerations of implementing TDL in healthcare are also addressed. This talk underscores the transformative potential of TDL in medical imaging and its capability to redefine HCI, fostering a more efficient, accurate, and patient-centric approach in healthcare.

Abstract: The term “Human” in the Human Computer Interaction refers to a heterogenous group of users. Inclusion is the key to effective Human Computer Interaction. In this talk, I would like to focus on a special group of users, Persons with Disabilities (PwD). The PwDs are often a marginalized group of users who face significant barriers interacting with the digital systems. In this talk, I would like to explore various interaction level barriers faced by persons with disabilities. The potential solutions to some of these barriers can be through thoughtful interface design. An interface need to be intelligent and at the same time it has to be inclusive too. Some of the barriers in the interfaces make the persons with disabilities a soft target in various cyberattacks. This talk will focus on adapting the latest developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence for the design of Intelligent and Inclusive Interfaces that aims to provide a barrier-free digital experience for persons with disabilities.

Abstract: This talk is an attempt to demonstrate a device free general purpose Wi-Fi sensing system to track events and recognize activities even through the wall and other materials using the Channel State Information (CSI) values extracted from the received Wi-Fi signals at the receiver end. The received signal characteristics change with the presence of the human beings, and their activities affect the signal propagation, resulting from reflection and scattering. The activities can be recognized by analyzing the CSI values corresponding to different sub-carriers of the received signal. CSI values contain fine grain information such as amplitude and phase to achieve better sensing accuracy with a unique pattern that can be observed corresponding to each activity and material. We will present our experience of developing the transmitter and receiver hardware modules together with the necessary software for capturing the CSI from Wi-Fi signals and conducted multiple experiments using the low power, low cost ESP-32 Wi-Fi module and Intel 5300 NIC module, for human presence, activity detection, material detection, ambient condition in indoor environments.

Abstract: Mental health-related disorders are common in elderly populations. Among the various mental health disorders, one most significant threat is dementia, and prediction of dementia has become an important issue related to well-being in old age, because the disease progression of dementia can be slowed by early diagnosis and disease control. In this paper, we propose an unobtrusive dementia-prediction system for monitoring physical activities of elderly persons either living alone or as a couple in different house structures, achieved through passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors combined with data processing. The proposed feature extraction algorithm extracts feature values related to physical activities from simple passive infrared sensors located in each room space. We then apply a variety of common popular classification models, including Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), to predict the risk of dementia in a sensor-enabled home. We implemented and validated algorithms on data collected for over a month from 18 participants who were engaged with a variety of living conditions. The proposed system was effective in predicting dementia risk, with up to a 0.99 area under the curve (AUC) using DNN with principal component analysis (PCA) and a quantile transformer scaler. In terms of the result based on leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) analysis, an accuracy of 63.38% was achieved using DNN with PCA and a standard scaler. The proposed methodology is non-invasive and cost-effective, and can be used for a variety of long-term monitoring and early symptom detection systems, helping caregivers provide optimal interventions to elderly individuals at risk for dementia.
