Abstract: The traditional speech-based Parkinson's Disease (PD) prediction method is to predict the motor Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (motor-UPDRS) and the total Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (total-UPDRS) respectively. In order to solve the problem that the traditional method could not use the shared information between tasks and the poor prediction performance in the process of single task prediction, a multi-task regression method based on model filtering was proposed to predict the motor-UPDRS and total-UPDRS of Parkinson's disease patients. Firstly, considering the different effects of the subtask speech features on the predicted motor-UPDRS and total-UPDRS, an L1 regularization term was added for feature selection. Secondly, according to different Parkinson's patient objects distributed in different domains, a filtering mechanism was added to improve the prediction accuracy. In the simulation experiments of remote Parkinson data set, the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of motor-UPDRS is 67.2% higher than that of the Least Squares (LS) method. Compared with the Classification And Regression Tree (CART) in the single task, the motor value increased by 64% and the total value increased by 78.4%. The results of experiment show that multi-task regression based on model filtering is superior to the single task regression algorithm for UPDRS prediction.

摘要: 传统基于语音的帕金森症(PD)病情预测方法则是分别预测运动症状评分(motor-UPDRS)和总体症状评分(total-UPDRS)。为解决在单任务预测过程中,传统方法无法利用任务之间的共享信息和预测性能不佳的问题,提出了一种基于模型过滤的多任务回归方法来预测帕金森症患者的motor-UPDRS和total-UPDRS。首先,考虑到子任务语音特征对预测motor-UPDRS和total-UPDRS不同的影响,添加L1正则化项进行特征选择;其次,在构建模型的同时,根据不同帕金森患者对象分布在不同的域,添加了过滤机制,来提高预测精度。在远程帕金森数据集仿真实验中,基于模型过滤的多任务回归方法在预测UPDRS时,较单任务条件下最小二乘法(LS)模型预测motor值准确度提高了67.2%,预测total值则提高了83.3%;相比单任务条件下决策回归树(CART)模型预测motor值提高了64%,预测total值则提高了78.4%。实验结果表明,基于模型过滤的多任务回归算法对UPDRS预测要优于单任务回归算法。
