[PMID: 38202992 PMCID: PMC10781393 DOI: 10.3390/s24010132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal sports performance requires a balance between intensive training and adequate rest. IMUs provide objective, quantifiable data to analyze performance dynamics, despite the challenges in quantifying athlete training loads. The ability of AI to analyze complex datasets brings innovation to the monitoring and optimization of athlete training cycles. Traditional techniques rely on subjective assessments to prevent overtraining, which can lead to injury and underperformance. IMUs provide objective, quantitative data on athletes' physical status during action. AI and machine learning can turn these data into useful insights, enabling data-driven athlete performance management. With IMU-generated multivariate time series data, this paper uses AI to construct a robust model for predicting fatigue and stamina. MATERIALS AND METHODS IMUs linked to 19 athletes recorded triaxial acceleration, angular velocity, and magnetic orientation throughout repeated sessions. Standardized training included steady-pace runs and fatigue-inducing techniques. The raw time series data were used to train a supervised ML model based on frequency and time-domain characteristics. The performances of Random Forest, Gradient Boosting Machines, and LSTM networks were compared. A feedback loop adjusted the model in real time based on prediction error and bias estimation. RESULTS The AI model demonstrated high predictive accuracy for fatigue, showing significant correlations between predicted fatigue levels and observed declines in performance. Stamina predictions enabled individualized training adjustments that were in sync with athletes' physiological thresholds. Bias correction mechanisms proved effective in minimizing systematic prediction errors. Moreover, real-time adaptations of the model led to enhanced training periodization strategies, reducing the risk of overtraining and improving overall athletic performance. CONCLUSIONS In sports performance analytics, the AI-assisted model using IMU multivariate time series data is effective. Training can be tailored and constantly altered because the model accurately predicts fatigue and stamina. AI models can effectively forecast the beginning of weariness before any physical symptoms appear. This allows for timely interventions to prevent overtraining and potential accidents. The model shows an exceptional ability to customize training programs according to the physiological reactions of each athlete and enhance the overall training effectiveness. In addition, the study demonstrated the model's efficacy in real-time monitoring performance, improving the decision-making abilities of both coaches and athletes. The approach enables ongoing and thorough data analysis, supporting strategic planning for training and competition, resulting in optimized performance outcomes. These findings highlight the revolutionary capability of AI in sports science, offering a future where data-driven methods greatly enhance athlete training and performance management.

Abstract
Time series (TS) and multiple time series (MTS) predictions have historically paved the way for distinct families of deep learning models. The temporal dimension, distinguished by its evolutionary sequential aspect, is usually modeled by decomposition into the trio of "trend, seasonality, noise", by attempts to copy the functioning of human synapses, and more recently, by transformer models with self-attention on the temporal dimension. These models may find applications in finance and e-commerce, where any increase in performance of less than 1% has large monetary repercussions, they also have potential applications in natural language processing (NLP), medicine, and physics. To the best of our knowledge, the information bottleneck (IB) framework has not received significant attention in the context of TS or MTS analyses. One can demonstrate that a compression of the temporal dimension is key in the context of MTS. We propose a new approach with partial convolution, where a time sequence is encoded into a two-dimensional representation resembling images. Accordingly, we use the recent advances made in image extension to predict an unseen part of an image from a given one. We show that our model compares well with traditional TS models, has information-theoretical foundations, and can be easily extended to more dimensions than only time and space. An evaluation of our multiple time series-information bottleneck (MTS-IB) model proves its efficiency in electricity production, road traffic, and astronomical data representing solar activity, as recorded by NASA's interface region imaging spectrograph (IRIS) satellite.

Abstract
Even when concepts similar to emergence have been used since antiquity, we lack an agreed definition. However, emergence has been identified as one of the main features of complex systems. Most would agree on the statement "life is complex." Thus understanding emergence and complexity should benefit the study of living systems. It can be said that life emerges from the interactions of complex molecules. But how useful is this to understanding living systems? Artificial Life (ALife) has been developed in recent decades to study life using a synthetic approach: Build it to understand it. ALife systems are not so complex, be they soft (simulations), hard (robots), or wet(protocells). Thus, we can aim at first understanding emergence in ALife, to then use this knowledge in biology. I argue that to understand emergence and life, it becomes useful to use information as a framework. In a general sense, I define emergence as information that is not present at one scale but present at another. This perspective avoids problems of studying emergence from a materialist framework and can also be useful in the study of self-organization and complexity.

Complexity and Entropy in Physiological Signals (CEPS): Resonance Breathing Rate Assessed Using Measures of Fractal Dimension, Heart Rate Asymmetry and Permutation Entropy. ENTROPY (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 25:301. [PMID: 36832667 PMCID: PMC9955651 DOI: 10.3390/e25020301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As technology becomes more sophisticated, more accessible methods of interpretating Big Data become essential. We have continued to develop Complexity and Entropy in Physiological Signals (CEPS) as an open access MATLAB® GUI (graphical user interface) providing multiple methods for the modification and analysis of physiological data. METHODS To demonstrate the functionality of the software, data were collected from 44 healthy adults for a study investigating the effects on vagal tone of breathing paced at five different rates, as well as self-paced and un-paced. Five-minute 15-s recordings were used. Results were also compared with those from shorter segments of the data. Electrocardiogram (ECG), electrodermal activity (EDA) and Respiration (RSP) data were recorded. Particular attention was paid to COVID risk mitigation, and to parameter tuning for the CEPS measures. For comparison, data were processed using Kubios HRV, RR-APET and DynamicalSystems.jl software. We also compared findings for ECG RR interval (RRi) data resampled at 4 Hz (4R) or 10 Hz (10R), and non-resampled (noR). In total, we used around 190-220 measures from CEPS at various scales, depending on the analysis undertaken, with our investigation focused on three families of measures: 22 fractal dimension (FD) measures, 40 heart rate asymmetries or measures derived from Poincaré plots (HRA), and 8 measures based on permutation entropy (PE). RESULTS FDs for the RRi data differentiated strongly between breathing rates, whether data were resampled or not, increasing between 5 and 7 breaths per minute (BrPM). Largest effect sizes for RRi (4R and noR) differentiation between breathing rates were found for the PE-based measures. Measures that both differentiated well between breathing rates and were consistent across different RRi data lengths (1-5 min) included five PE-based (noR) and three FDs (4R). Of the top 12 measures with short-data values consistently within ± 5% of their values for the 5-min data, five were FDs, one was PE-based, and none were HRAs. Effect sizes were usually greater for CEPS measures than for those implemented in DynamicalSystems.jl. CONCLUSION The updated CEPS software enables visualisation and analysis of multichannel physiological data using a variety of established and recently introduced complexity entropy measures. Although equal resampling is theoretically important for FD estimation, it appears that FD measures may also be usefully applied to non-resampled data.

Abstract
AbstractContinuous monitoring of the well-being state of elderly people is about to become an urgent need in the early future due to population aging. Aiming a unified notion of well-being, we find the Intrinsic Capacity concept in accordance with the SMART BEAR project goals. In this study, we mainly focus on the enabling infrastructure, mapping our models to interoperable repositories and to streaming/computing components that can foster monitoring. Our method is also innovative for explicitly combining personalized and risk levels in generating the Intrinsic Capacity score. Leveraging on synthetic data, we represent the outcome trajectories of some sample patients for 1-year continuous monitoring and discuss approaches to characterize them based on the exhibited tendency and evaluate the results from the predictability point of view providing by the entropy of time series concept. At the end, we discuss the possible data quality issues in health care studies using synthetic data.

Abstract
Society’s concerns with electricity consumption have motivated researchers to improve on the way that energy consumption management is done. The reduction of energy consumption and the optimization of energy management are, therefore, two major aspects to be considered. Additionally, load forecast provides relevant information with the support of historical data allowing an enhanced energy management, allowing energy costs reduction. In this paper, the proposed consumption forecast methodology uses an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and incremental learning to increase the forecast accuracy. The ANN is retrained daily, providing an updated forecasting model. The case study uses 16 months of data, split in 5-min periods, from a real industrial facility. The advantages of using the proposed method are illustrated with the numerical results.

Abstract
Accurate tourist flow prediction is key to ensuring the normal operation of popular scenic spots. However, one single model cannot effectively grasp the characteristics of the data and make accurate predictions because of the strong nonlinear characteristics of daily tourist flow data. Accordingly, this study predicts daily tourist flow in Huangshan Scenic Spot in China. A prediction method (GA-CNN-LSTM) which combines convolutional neural network (CNN) and long-short-term memory network (LSTM) and optimized by genetic algorithm (GA) is established. First, network search data, meteorological data, and other data are constructed into continuous feature maps. Then, feature vectors are extracted by convolutional neural network (CNN). Finally, the feature vectors are input into long-short-term memory network (LSTM) in time series for prediction. Moreover, GA is used to scientifically select the number of neurons in the CNN-LSTM model. Data is preprocessed and normalized before prediction. The accuracy of GA-CNN-LSTM is evaluated using mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean absolute error (MAE), Pearson correlation coefficient and index of agreement (IA). For a fair comparison, GA-CNN-LSTM model is compared with CNN-LSTM, LSTM, CNN and the back propagation neural network (BP). The experimental results show that GA-CNN-LSTM model is approximately 8.22% higher than CNN-LSTM on the performance of MAPE.
