Snippet Policy Network: Knee-Guided Neuroevolution for Multi-Lead ECG Early Classification
| Summary | We have proposed in this project the first time series classification technique that considers accuracy, earliness, and varied lengths simultaneously. The proposed technique is fit for the problem of early classification of cardiovascular diseases based on ECG signals, containing a novel deep reinforcement learning framework, Snippet Policy Network (SPN), and a new multi-objective optimization neural network algorithm, Knee-guided Neuroevolution Algorithm (KGNA). We have proposed a novel deep reinforcement learning framework, Snippet Policy Network, to solve this problem. Existing studies did not well explore the solution to the classification problem of varied-length ECG signals. We are the first to define clearly and then solve this problem. Since there are two objectives that need to be optimized in the early time series classification problem, we have proposed a new multi-objective optimization neural network algorithm, the Knee-Guided Neuroevolution Algorithm. The method of the deep reinforcement learning framework trains a multi-objective optimization agent that can reasonably trade off the classification accuracy and earliness of the model, thereby enhancing the accuracy and earliness of SPN. In addition to the data mentioned above in the medical field, several sensing datasets were also used to conduct a series of experiments to verify the effectiveness and generalization of the proposed methods. The experimental results were shown to deliver the best performance in this area, holding the leading position worldwide. |

Data Representation and Learning for Dialogue System
The application of voice assistants is becoming more and more popular, however, due to the inefficiency of artificial intelligence-based technology, current products are mostly built by using rules-based methods. Therefore, in this project, we would like to propose some corresponding solutions for different components of the dialogue system to improve the data efficiency and work efficiency of each component.

Integration of an ICU Visualization Dashboard (i-Dashboard) as a Platform to Facilitate Multidisciplinary Rounds
Multidisciplinary rounds (MDRs) are scheduled, patient-focused communication mechanisms among multidisciplinary providers in the intensive care unit (ICU). The surgical ICU team of National Cheng Kung University Hospital has developed and integrated i-Dashboard as a platform to facilitate MDRs. i-Dashboard is a custom-developed visualization dashboard that supports (1) key information retrieval and reorganization, (2) time-series data, and (3) display on large touchscreens during MDRs. The i-Dashboard increases the efficiency in data gathering and enhances communication accuracy and information exchange in MDRs.

Cardiovascular Health Guardian – Novel Pulse Wave Velocity and Personal Blood Pressure Estimation System for Smart Watch
Our team develops an accurate PWV estimation algorithm that uses wrist PPG and ECG signals from wearable devices. A missing-feature imputation and ambiguous-feature resolution technique is developed and the availability of wrist PPG morphological features is raised from 60% to 99.1%. A weighted pulse decomposition approach is adopted and 5 component waves can be acquired to examine more detailed properties. The PWV is then estimated by XGBoost algorithm with the hierarchical regression model.

HeaortaNet (Automatic Pericardium/Aorta Segmentation AI Model [HeaortaNet])
The Pericardium/Aorta Segmentation and Cardiovascular Risk Prediction AI Total Solution Model, HeaortaNet, is a deep learning model based on UNet and attention gate, and had been trained by >70,000 axial images with verified annotations of the pericardium and aorta. It shortens the time for data processing from 60 minutes, by manual segmentation of both pericardium and aorta, to 0.4 seconds. The segmentation accuracy is 94.8% for the pericardium, and 91.6% for the aorta. The applicability of HeaortaNet had been demonstrated by analyzing the non-contrast chest CT scans (>5,000 cases) deposited in the mega-image bank of National Health Insurance Databank.

Embedding multimodal machine intelligence in the digital life of AI technology
This project collaborates with the international team to collect a very large-scale Chinese emotional corpus. In terms of technology, the fairness of speech emotion recognition is also discussed to solve social issues that may be encountered regarding the usability of emotion recognition. Among them, it is found that the database annotations are all labeled with the unfair perspective of men and women, which leads to biases in the trained model. In order to solve this problem, there have been preliminary achievements in the technological development of fairness, and will be submitted in the near future.
