Representation Matters in Longitudinal Affective Computing

arXiv:2608. 07518v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Longitudinal, in-the-wild, wearable sensing yields day-level physiology, sleep, activity, and environmental streams, whereas affect and cognition are labeled only episodically (per waves).

Omni-Sleep: A Sleep Foundation Model via Hierarchical Contrastive Learning of CNS-ANS Dynamics

arXiv:2607. 07720v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sleep physiology arises from the coordinated dynamics of the central nervous system (CNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS), as reflected by multimodal polysomnography signals including EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, and respiration.

PGP-Clinical-TimeKAN: Prior-Guided Joint Probabilistic Forecasting of Clinical Trajectories

PGP-Clinical-TimeKAN is a trajectory-first framework for joint probabilistic forecasting of multivariate physiological data, combining missingness-aware temporal encoders, a soft organ-system prior, patient-specific relations, nonlinear Kolmogorov‑Arnold messages, and a low‑rank multivariate Student‑t head. Evaluated on a MIMIC‑IV cohort of 6,882 patients, it achieves the second‑lowest normalized MAE and the lowest RMSE among 13 models, while providing calibrated probabilistic forecasts with empirical coverage at 50%, 80%, and 95% intervals. Ablation studies show that relational structure is critical for performance, and increasing covariance rank improves likelihood but not point accuracy. whyItMatters":"The model demonstrates that joint trajectory forecasting can yield highly accurate, calibrated predictions of physiological trajectories, offering a potentially inspectable intermediate task for clinical deterioration prediction."
