Aggregate, Don't Adapt: Subject-Level Posterior Aggregation and Transductive Calibration for Cross-Site Parkinsonian Gait Severity

The paper reports the winning solution to the MoCha 2026 Parkinsonian Gait Benchmark, achieving a macro‑F1 score of 0.6945 on unseen clinical sites. The approach relies on a frozen public motion encoder followed by a single 4×512 linear layer, and gains are largely attributed to three key steps: exact replication of the benchmark’s head recipe, averaging per‑walk posteriors at the subject level, and a label‑free transductive calibration of feature means and decision thresholds. Extensive ablation studies show that fine‑tuning the encoder or using alternative encoders does not improve performance, and the subject‑level aggregation is identified as the primary contributor to the top score.

iMINDBench: iEEG Multi-Institution Neural Decoding Benchmark

iMINDBench is a new benchmark for intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) neural decoding that evaluates models on fifteen tasks across three naturalistic movie‑watching datasets from multiple institutions. It standardizes preprocessing tracks and evaluation splits to enable consistent comparisons. The study shows that pretrained systems outperform baselines within their tracks, but strong spectral baselines remain competitive, and scaling up supervised data yields only modest or task‑dependent gains.
