DiaSeg: Diagonal Segment Extraction from DTW Paths for Interpretable Gait Analysis

DiaSeg extracts diagonal segments from Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) paths, characterizing each with five geometric features to preserve local alignment information. In a study of 91 subjects across six clinical conditions, these segments revealed consistent unsupervised patterns aligned with biomechanical phases and achieved near-perfect separation of healthy and pathological gait. While cycle‑based methods reached higher overall accuracy, DiaSeg offers phase‑specific interpretability, pinpointing where coordination breaks down within the gait cycle.

Explainable Graph-theoretical Machine Learning with Application to Alzheimer's Disease Prediction

The paper introduces Explainable Graph-theoretical Machine Learning (XGML) to build individual metabolic brain graphs from FDG-PET data and identify subgraphs predictive of multivariate Alzheimer’s disease outcomes. Using ADNI data, the best model—kernel density estimation with Hellinger distance and random forest—achieved a Pearson correlation of 0.595 across eight cognitive scores, with the highest performance on ADAS13, ADAS11, and ADASQ4. Key edges were found to be jointly but differentially predictive, indicating potential network biomarkers for cognitive decline, though external validation on OASIS3 showed weaker performance likely due to cohort differences.
