Estimating Shape Parameters of Piecewise Linear-Quadratic Problems by Zheng, Peng, Ramamurthy, Karthikeyan Natesan, Aravkin, Aleksandr Y.

“…A second contribution is to consider optimization methods for these joint problems. We show that basic first-order methods can be immediately brought to bear, and design specialized extensions of interior point (IP) methods for PLQ problems that can quickly and efficiently solve the joint problem. …”

Towards Explainable Graph Embeddings for Gait Assessment Using Per-Cluster Dimensional Weighting by Chris Lochhead, Robert B. Fisher

“…To address this applicational barrier, an end-to-end pipeline is introduced here for creating graph feature embeddings, generated using a bespoke Spatio-temporal Graph Convolutional Network and per-joint Principal Component Analysis. The latent graph embeddings produced by this framework led to a novel semi-supervised weighting function which quantifies and ranks the most important joint features, which are used to provide a description for each pathology. …”
