    Predicting Cardiovascular Rehabilitation of Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Using Transfer Feature Learning
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-02) Torres, Romina; Zurita, Christopher; Mellado, Diego; Nicolis, Orietta; Saavedra, Carolina; Tuesta, Marcelo; Salinas, Matías; Bertini, Ayleen; Pedemonte, Oneglio; Querales, Marvin; Salas, Rodrigo
    Cardiovascular diseases represent the leading cause of death worldwide. Thus, cardiovascular rehabilitation programs are crucial to mitigate the deaths caused by this condition each year, mainly in patients with coronary artery disease. COVID-19 was not only a challenge in this area but also an opportunity to open remote or hybrid versions of these programs, potentially reducing the number of patients who leave rehabilitation programs due to geographical/time barriers. This paper presents a method for building a cardiovascular rehabilitation prediction model using retrospective and prospective data with different features using stacked machine learning, transfer feature learning, and the joint distribution adaptation tool to address this problem. We illustrate the method over a Chilean rehabilitation center, where the prediction performance results obtained for 10-fold cross-validation achieved error levels with an NMSE of (Formula presented.) and an (Formula presented.) of (Formula presented.), where the best-achieved performance was an error level with a normalized mean squared error of 0.008 and an (Formula presented.) up to (Formula presented.). The results are encouraging for remote cardiovascular rehabilitation programs because these models could support the prioritization of remote patients needing more help to succeed in the current rehabilitation phase. © 2023 by the authors.

    El día 3 de marzo de 2004, Chile concretó el envío de más de 300 efectivos militares al país caribeño, tras la disposición del Consejo de Seguridad de la Organización de Naciones Unidas, de votar a favor de la resolución de emergencia. Ésta autorizaba el desplazamiento inmediato de una fuerza inultinacional, por un período de tres meses.

    Self-improving generative artificial neural network for pseudorehearsal incremental class learning
    (Algorithms, 2019) Mellado, Diego; Saavedra, Carolina; Chabert, Sterena; Torres, Romina; Salas, Rodrigo
    Deep learning models are part of the family of artificial neural networks and, as such, they suffer catastrophic interference when learning sequentially. In addition, the greater number of these models have a rigid architecture which prevents the incremental learning of new classes. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose the Self-Improving Generative Artificial Neural Network (SIGANN), an end-to-end deep neural network system which can ease the catastrophic forgetting problem when learning new classes. In this method, we introduce a novel detection model that automatically detects samples of new classes, and an adversarial autoencoder is used to produce samples of previous classes. This system consists of three main modules: a classifier module implemented using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network, a generator module based on an adversarial autoencoder, and a novelty-detection module implemented using an OpenMax activation function. Using the EMNIST data set, the model was trained incrementally, starting with a small set of classes. The results of the simulation show that SIGANN can retain previous knowledge while incorporating gradual forgetfulness of each learning sequence at a rate of about 7% per training step. Moreover, SIGANN can detect new classes that are hidden in the data with a median accuracy of 43% and, therefore, proceed with incremental class learning.
