ITP Foundation at the Twentieth International Workshop on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Generalized Networks

Filip Wichrowski is participating in the ITP Research Program on objective sensor-based markers for bipolar disorder monitoring in Honor of Anne de Szczypiorski. This program supports young researchers and enables them to investigate bipolar disorder under the supervision of experienced mentors from academia and the medical sector. The research agenda covers mainly hybrid methods of computational intelligence for data streams and time series, soft computing and computational statistics.

Filip Wichrowski and Katarzyna Kaczmarek-Majer participated at the recent Twentieth International Workshop on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Generalized Networks held in Warsaw, Poland. We presented our recent approach for the construction of a hidden Markov model for the acoustic features of patients suffering from bipolar disorder. We pose the hypothesis that a hidden Markov model (HMM) with a discrete uniform initial state distribution, a transition matrix estimated via the maximum likelihood method, and emission probabilities described by a normal distribution given the state, is an adequate tool for predicting episodes of BD. The construction of a hidden Markov model and determining a supervised learning approach for the estimation of its parameters is the main contribution of this work. The discussed slides entitled Hidden Markov Models for phase prediction in bipolar disorder are available under the following LINK.
