Traditional sample size estimation for sufficient model performance is not applicable for machine learning, especially in the field of electrocardiograms (ECGs). This presentation outlines a sample size estimation strategy for binary classification problems on ECGs. The post-hoc sample size estimations are based on a benchmark across different architectures and different classification targets. The results indicate trends for required sample sizes for given tasks and architectures, which can be used as orientation for future ECG studies or feasibility aspects.

Separate registration required: https://www.mie2023.org/tutorials, openEHR consists of open specifications and clinical models for building healthcare and welfare information systems. This Master Class presents the problems openEHR addresses and how openEHR addresses them using its reference model and the clinical models that consist of archetypes and templates. It will further be explained how openEHR relates to other standards, how openEHR can be localised and implemented and how the organisation openEHR International and its surrounding community work.

Electroencephalography (EEG) has recently gained popularity in user authentication systems since it is unique and less impacted by fraudulent interceptions. Although EEG is known to be sensitive to emotions, understanding the stability of brain responses to EEG-based authentication systems is challenging. In this study, we compared the effect of different emotion stimuli for the application in the EEG-based biometrics system (EBS). Initially, we pre-processed audio-visual evoked EEG potentials from the ‘A Database for Emotion Analysis using Physiological Signals’ (DEAP) dataset. A total of 21 time-domain and 33 frequency-domain features were extracted from the considered EEG signals in response to Low valence Low arousal (LVLA) and High valence low arousal (HVLA) stimuli. These features were fed as input to an XGBoost classifier to evaluate the performance and identify the significant features. The model performance was validated using leave-one-out cross-validation. The pipeline achieved high performance with multiclass accuracy of 80.97% and a binary-class accuracy of 99.41% with LVLA stimuli. In addition, it also achieved recall, precision and F-measure scores of 80.97%, 81.58% and 80.95%, respectively. For both the cases of LVLA and LVHA, skewness was the stand-out feature. We conclude that boring stimuli (negative experience) that fall under the LVLA category can elicit a more unique neuronal response than its counterpart the LVHA (positive experience). Thus, the proposed pipeline involving LVLA stimuli could be a potential authentication technique in security applications.

We suggest a process for finding elements of interest from FHIR profiles to support the setup of data quality assessments for data stored in FHIR servers.
