Abstract

In the healthcare system, patients are required to use wearable devices for the remote data collection and real-time monitoring of health data and the status of health conditions. This adoption of wearables results in a significant increase in the volume of data that is collected and transmitted. As the devices are run by small battery power, they can be quickly diminished due to the high processing requirements of the device for data collection and transmission. Given the importance attached to medical data, it is imperative that all transmitted data adhere to strict integrity and availability requirements. Reducing the volume of healthcare data and the frequency of transmission will improve the device battery life via using inference algorithm. There is an issue of improving transmission metrics with accuracy and efficiency, which trade-off each other such as increasing accuracy reduces the efficiency. This paper demonstrates that machine learning can be used to analyze complex health data metrics such as the accuracy and efficiency of data transmission to overcome the trade-off problem using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to enhance both metrics by taking fewer samples to transmit whilst maintaining the accuracy. The algorithm is tested with a standard heart rate dataset to compare the metrics. The result shows that the LMA has best performed with an efficiency of 3.33 times for reduced sample data size and accuracy of 79.17%, which has the similar accuracies in 7 different sampling cases adopted for testing but demonstrates improved efficiency. These proposed methods significantly improved both metrics using machine learning without sacrificing a metric over the other compared to the existing methods with high efficiency.

Online Regularized Statistical Learning in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space With Non-Stationary Data

We study recursive regularized learning algorithms in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) with non-stationary online data streams. We introduce the concept of a random Tikhonov regularization path and decompose the tracking error of the algorithm's output for the regularization path into random difference equations in RKHS. We show that the tracking error vanishes in mean square and almost surely if the regularization path is slowly time-varying. Then, leveraging the monotonicity of inverse operators and the spectral decomposition of compact operators, and introducing the RKHS persistence of excitation condition, we develop a dominated convergence method to prove the mean square and almost sure consistency between the regularization path and the unknown function to be learned. Especially, for independent and non-identically distributed data streams, the mean square and almost sure consistency between the algorithm's output and the unknown function is achieved if the input data's marginal probability measures are slowly time-varying and the average measure over each fixed-length time period is uniformly above a strictly positive finite Borel measure.

Reflective Policy Optimization

On-policy reinforcement learning methods, like Trust Region Policy Optimization (TRPO) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), often demand extensive data per update, leading to sample inefficiency. This paper introduces Reflective Policy Optimization (RPO), a novel on-policy extension that amalgamates past and future state-action information for policy optimization. This approach empowers the agent for introspection, allowing modifications to its actions within the current state. Theoretical analysis confirms that policy performance is monotonically improved and contracts the solution space, consequently expediting the convergence procedure. Empirical results demonstrate RPO's feasibility and efficacy in two reinforcement learning benchmarks, culminating in superior sample efficiency. The source code of this work is available at https://github.com/Edgargan/RPO.

Transductive Off-policy Proximal Policy Optimization

Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is a popular model-free reinforcement learning algorithm, esteemed for its simplicity and efficacy. However, due to its inherent on-policy nature, its proficiency in harnessing data from disparate policies is constrained. This paper introduces a novel off-policy extension to the original PPO method, christened Transductive Off-policy PPO (ToPPO). Herein, we provide theoretical justification for incorporating off-policy data in PPO training and prudent guidelines for its safe application. Our contribution includes a novel formulation of the policy improvement lower bound for prospective policies derived from off-policy data, accompanied by a computationally efficient mechanism to optimize this bound, underpinned by assurances of monotonic improvement. Comprehensive experimental results across six representative tasks underscore ToPPO's promising performance.
