ActiTect: A Generalizable Machine Learning Pipeline for REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Screening through Standardized Actigraphy

arXiv:2511. 05221v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a major prodromal marker of $\alpha$-synucleinopathies, often preceding the clinical onset of Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, or multiple system atrophy.

Ensemble of Convolutional Neural Networks for StrokePrediction: Towards Improved Diagnostic Accuracy

The paper presents an intelligent system that predicts stroke risk using eleven clinical features and evaluates seven supervised machine learning algorithms. Ensemble methods—Random Forest, Stacking Classifier, and Bagging Classifier—achieved the highest accuracies, reaching 99.52%, while other models such as KNN, TabNet, and a custom feedforward network also performed well. The study demonstrates that ensemble approaches are particularly effective for stroke classification tasks.

Transforming Heart Disease Prediction with Advanced Machine Learning Techniques

The study evaluates several machine‑learning classifiers for predicting heart disease using two public datasets, each with 14 health‑related attributes. Performance metrics such as MAE, RAE, accuracy, precision, recall, and F‑measure were used, revealing that SVM performed best on the UCI data while Simple Cart excelled on the Kaggle data. The authors conclude that well‑tuned ML models can aid early heart‑disease diagnosis and suggest future work on hybrid methods and newer datasets.

Freezing of Gait Prediction Under Spatial Occlusion: An IMU-Supervised Cross-Modal Distillation Approach

The paper introduces a cross‑modal distillation framework that combines the accuracy of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data with the practicality of video‑based gait analysis to detect freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s patients. By extracting invariant latent topologies from a pre‑trained kinematic oracle, the method supervises a visual architecture and fuses skeletal graph nodes with continuous spatial pixels to handle severe spatial occlusion during continuous 360° turns. Experiments on a public multimodal dataset show that this approach reduces tracking entropy and achieves precise FOG predictions without requiring wearable sensors.
