Identifying uterine contractions with the aid of machine learning methods is necessary vis-á-vis their use in combination with fetal heart rates and other clinical data for the assessment of a fetus wellbeing. In this paper, we study contraction identification by processing noisy signals due to uterine activities. We propose a complete four-step method where we address the imbalanced classification problem with an ensemble Gaussian process classifier, where the Gaussian process latent variable model is used as a decision-maker. The results of both simulation and real data show promising performance compared to existing methods.
借助机器学习方法识别子宫收缩对于将其与胎儿心率及其他临床数据相结合以评估胎儿健康状况而言是必要的。在本文中,我们通过处理由子宫活动产生的噪声信号来研究收缩识别。我们提出了一种完整的四步方法,其中我们使用集成高斯过程分类器来解决不平衡分类问题,高斯过程潜在变量模型用作决策器。与现有方法相比,模拟和实际数据的结果均显示出良好的性能。
