Autism

Mobile Detection of Autism through Machine Learning
https://bit.ly/2As0xTu

There are 20 to 100 behaviors traditional tests evaluate for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and this can take a long time to complete. This study recently published in PLOS Medicine<https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1002705> (November 2018) discusses how researchers gathered over 160 3-minute home videos of children with or without autism and designed a mobile web portal that classifies 30 behavioral features (such as eye contact, social smile, speech patterns, etc.). Through machine learning, video raters with no official education in child development or autism diagnosis were able to accurately detect ASD in short time frames. Further research is necessary to determine if this method will advance ASD diagnosis at greater proportions.
