There are increasing efforts to automate clinical methods for early diagnosis of developmental disorders, among them the General Movement Assessment (GMA), a video-based tool to classify infant motor functioning. Optimal pose estimation is a crucial part of the automated GMA. In this study we compare the performance of available generic- and infant-pose estimators, and the choice of viewing angle for optimal recordings, i.e., conventional diagonal view used in GMA vs. top-down view. For this study, we used 4500 annotated video-frames from 75 recordings of infant spontaneous motor functions from 4 to 26 weeks. To determine which available pose estimation method and camera angle yield the best pose estimation accuracy on infants in a GMA related setting, the distance to human annotations as well as the percentage of correct key-points (PCK) were computed and compared. The results show that the best performing generic model trained on adults, ViTPose, also performs best on infants. We see no improvement from using specialized infant-pose estimators over the generic pose estimators on our own infant dataset. However, when retraining a generic model on our data, there is a significant improvement in pose estimation accuracy. The pose estimation accuracy obtained from the top-down view is significantly better than that obtained from the diagonal view, especially for the detection of the hip key-points. The results also indicate only limited generalization capabilities of infant-pose estimators to other infant datasets, which hints that one should be careful when choosing infant pose estimators and using them on infant datasets which they were not trained on. While the standard GMA method uses a diagonal view for assessment, pose estimation accuracy significantly improves using a top-down view. This suggests that a top-down view should be included in recording setups for automated GMA research.

Nonparametric procedures are more powerful for detecting interaction in two-way ANOVA when the data are non-normal. In this paper, we compute null critical values for the aligned rank-based tests (APCSSA/APCSSM) where the levels of the factors are between 2 and 6. We compare the performance of these new procedures with the ANOVA F-test for interaction, the adjusted rank transform test (ART), Conover's rank transform procedure (RT), and a rank-based ANOVA test (raov) using Monte Carlo simulations. The new procedures APCSSA/APCSSM are comparable with existing competitors in all settings. Even though there is no single dominant test in detecting interaction effects for non-normal data, nonparametric procedure APCSSM is the most highly recommended procedure for Cauchy errors settings.

The implementation of collective motion, traditionally, disregard the limited sensing capabilities of an individual, to instead assuming an omniscient perception of the environment. This study implements a visual flocking model in a ``robot-in-the-loop'' approach to reproduce these behaviors with a flock composed of 10 independent spherical robots. The model achieves robotic collective motion by only using panoramic visual information of each robot, such as retinal position, optical size and optic flow of the neighboring robots. We introduce a virtual anchor to confine the collective robotic movements so to avoid wall interactions. For the first time, a simple visual robot-in-the-loop approach succeed in reproducing several collective motion phases, in particular, swarming, and milling. Another milestone achieved with by this model is bridging the gap between simulation and physical experiments by demonstrating nearly identical behaviors in both environments with the same visual model. To conclude, we show that our minimal visual collective motion model is sufficient to recreate most collective behaviors on a robot-in-the-loop system that is scalable, behaves as numerical simulations predict and is easily comparable to traditional models.

A central task in knowledge compilation is to compile a CNF-SAT instance into a succinct representation format that allows efficient operations such as testing satisfiability, counting, or enumerating all solutions. Useful representation formats studied in this area range from ordered binary decision diagrams (OBDDs) to circuits in decomposable negation normal form (DNNFs). While it is known that there exist CNF formulas that require exponential size representations, the situation is less well studied for other types of constraints than Boolean disjunctive clauses. The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a powerful framework that generalizes CNF-SAT by allowing arbitrary sets of constraints over any finite domain. The main goal of our work is to understand for which type of constraints (also called the constraint language) it is possible to efficiently compute representations of polynomial size. We answer this question completely and prove two tight characterizations of efficiently compilable constraint languages, depending on whether target format is structured. We first identify the combinatorial property of ``strong blockwise decomposability'' and show that if a constraint language has this property, we can compute DNNF representations of linear size. For all other constraint languages we construct families of CSP-instances that provably require DNNFs of exponential size. For a subclass of ``strong uniformly blockwise decomposable'' constraint languages we obtain a similar dichotomy for structured DNNFs. In fact, strong (uniform) blockwise decomposability even allows efficient compilation into multi-valued analogs of OBDDs and FBDDs, respectively. Thus, we get complete characterizations for all knowledge compilation classes between O(B)DDs and DNNFs.

In many applied sciences a popular analysis strategy for high-dimensional data is to fit many multivariate generalized linear models in parallel. This paper presents a novel approach to address the resulting multiple testing problem by combining a recently developed sign-flip test with permutation-based multiple-testing procedures. Our method builds upon the univariate standardized flip-scores test which offers robustness against misspecified variances in generalized linear models, a crucial feature in high-dimensional settings where comprehensive model validation is particularly challenging. We extend this approach to the multivariate setting, enabling adaptation to unknown response correlation structures. This approach yields relevant power improvements over conventional multiple testing methods when correlation is present.

Functional principal component analysis has been shown to be invaluable for revealing variation modes of longitudinal outcomes, which serves as important building blocks for forecasting and model building. Decades of research have advanced methods for functional principal component analysis often assuming independence between the observation times and longitudinal outcomes. Yet such assumptions are fragile in real-world settings where observation times may be driven by outcome-related reasons. Rather than ignoring the informative observation time process, we explicitly model the observational times by a counting process dependent on time-varying prognostic factors. Identification of the mean, covariance function, and functional principal components ensues via inverse intensity weighting. We propose using weighted penalized splines for estimation and establish consistency and convergence rates for the weighted estimators. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed estimators are substantially more accurate than the existing ones in the presence of a correlation between the observation time process and the longitudinal outcome process. We further examine the finite-sample performance of the proposed method using the Acute Infection and Early Disease Research Program study.

To obtain reliable results of expertise, which usually use individual and group expert pairwise comparisons, it is important to summarize (aggregate) expert estimates provided that they are sufficiently consistent. There are several ways to determine the threshold level of consistency sufficient for aggregation of estimates. They can be used for different consistency indices, but none of them relates the threshold value to the requirements for the reliability of the expertise's results. Therefore, a new approach to determining this consistency threshold is required. The proposed approach is based on simulation modeling of expert pairwise comparisons and a targeted search for the most inconsistent among the modeled pairwise comparison matrices. Thus, the search for the least consistent matrix is carried out for a given perturbation of the perfectly consistent matrix. This allows for determining the consistency threshold corresponding to a given permissible relative deviation of the resulting weight of an alternative from its hypothetical reference value.

Driven by the need to generate real-world evidence from multi-site collaborative studies, we introduce an efficient collaborative learning approach to evaluate average treatment effect in a multi-site setting under data sharing constraints. Specifically, the proposed method operates in a federated manner, using individual-level data from a user-defined target population and summary statistics from other source populations, to construct efficient estimator for the average treatment effect on the target population of interest. Our federated approach does not require iterative communications between sites, making it particularly suitable for research consortia with limited resources for developing automated data-sharing infrastructures. Compared to existing work data integration methods in causal inference, it allows distributional shifts in outcomes, treatments and baseline covariates distributions, and achieves semiparametric efficiency bound under appropriate conditions. We illustrate the magnitude of efficiency gains from incorporating extra data sources by examining the effect of insulin vs. non-insulin treatments on heart failure for patients with type II diabetes using electronic health record data collected from the All of Us program.

Knowledge graphs (KGs) of real-world facts about entities and their relationships are useful resources for a variety of natural language processing tasks. However, because knowledge graphs are typically incomplete, it is useful to perform knowledge graph completion or link prediction, i.e. predict whether a relationship not in the knowledge graph is likely to be true. This paper serves as a comprehensive survey of embedding models of entities and relationships for knowledge graph completion, summarizing up-to-date experimental results on standard benchmark datasets and pointing out potential future research directions.
