Inverse Reinforcement Learning for Interpretable Keystroke Biomarkers in Parkinson's Disease

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 25270v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Keystroke dynamics have been explored extensively as a passive digital biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD), typically by extracting summary statistics from typing timing and training a classifier to discriminate PD from healthy controls.

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.

Machine-Learning Assessment of the Predictive Value of Inflammatory Biomarkers for Cognitive Impairment in an Older Hispanic Adult Cohort

The study evaluates whether inflammatory biomarkers can predict cognitive impairment in older Hispanic adults using interpretable machine learning on a small clinical dataset. A leakage‑safe Bernoulli/Categorical Naive Bayes model was trained on 165 participants from the Panama Aging Research Initiative, with continuous predictors discretized via supervised chi‑square and income treated categorically. The biomarker I‑309 (CCL1) emerged as the sole reliable incremental predictor, boosting ROC‑AUC from 0.630 to 0.740 and achieving statistically significant performance across repeated cross‑validation and random partitions.
