Python implementation of a fast, kernel-based classifier.

A quick demonstration of measuring the heart rate using a webcam, implemented with Python and OpenCV. As oxygen levels in the blood rise and fall, its light absorbtion changes. Therefore a webcam picking up light shining through some tissue (such as a finger) is usually sensitive enough to detect those changes, giving a pulse waveform.

Requires OpenCV and numpy to run. In order to get good results, the frame rate of the camera should be set to 20-30 FPS (on Linux this can be done with guvcview). The challenge with using this in practice is to keep the finger very still...

Example of Bayesian linear classification, showing how it is possible to distinguish between spoken samples of "yes" and "no". The operation of the code is explained in this video lecture: Introduction to Machine Learning. The Python libraries Numpy, Scipy and Matplotlib are needed to run this.

A tool to help assess how well a Kalman filter is fitted to a particular sequence of 1D data. The dashboard has three views which give insight into different aspects of the filter performance. The innovations view (above) analyses the residuals between the step-ahead predictions and the actual reference sequence, to see if they have the right characteristics. The predictions view shows how confident the filter is, and the generative view draws samples from the dynamical model in order to see whether they "look right". A demo is included.

babymonitoringdemo.tar.gz (5.1Mb)

Demonstration of a condition monitoring system for infants in intensive care. Annotated data is included for 15 premature babies (24 hours of data for each baby, with several measurements channels recorded every second). Some third party code is required:

• Bayes Net Toolbox (used for expectation-maximisation in Kalman filters).
• Matlab Signal Processing Toolbox (used for spectrum estimation).

And optionally, (to try RBPF inference):

• Rao-Blackwellised Particle Filtering Code (used for particle resampling).

To run, make sure these packages are on the Matlab path and follow instructions in README.txt. This code is under active development, so feedback is welcome.

A minimal switching Kalman filter implementation, with a toy demonstration. The demo shows classification of different patterns in a sequence. (Note: these models are also variously referred to as Switching Linear Dynamical Systems, Jump Markov Linear Gaussian Models, or as instances of Switching State Space Models.)
