ALS Seminar - Imitation Learning
Machine Learning is an important tool for developing complex systems. In particular, Reinforcement Learning has been successfull in learning robot behavior. However, it can be difficult to define appropriate reward functions. Especially in robotics, one has to deal with high dimensionality in the state/action space. Imitation of experts is a fundamental part of learning in nature. Imitation, in...
متن کاملCommunication Support for People with ALS
Almost all people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) experience a motor speech disorder, such as dysarthria, as the disease progresses. At some point, 80 to 95% of people with ALS are unable to meet their daily communication needs using natural speech. Unfortunately, once intelligibility begins to decrease, speech performance often deteriorates so rapidly that there is little time to impl...
متن کاملAls Clinical Trials
Most clinical trials are based on current hypotheses that have been developed to explain the pathogenesis of ALS. These hypotheses include mutations of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) in patients with familial ALS (FALS) that result in a toxic gain of function, glutamate excitotoxicity (impaired glutamate transporters), oxidative stress, neurofilament dysfunction, altered calcium homeos...
متن کاملClinical neurophysiology in ALS.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) belongs to a group of disorders known as motor neuron diseases. Despite being one of the most devastating diseases known, there is little evidence for diagnosing and managing patients with ALS. Clinical neurophysiologic tests are essential, when no biological marker exists to aid early diagnosis, not only in relation to diagnosis, but also in the development ...
متن کاملThe First ALS Ambulance in the World
The survival rate of medical emergencies depends highly on the intervention time and prompt medical care on the scene. The idea of “bring the doctor and medical equipment to the spot” was born in Hungary in the mid-1950s. The demand for advanced life support was a consequence of the fast growth of industry and traffic. It is worthwhile to review the development of the idea, the therapeutic meth...
