Abstract
Recent achievements in machine learning are subverting foundations of many research disciplines. In this presentation, I will show how these developments affect collection, modeling and prediction of human gait kinematics, enabling unprecedented scale of research and applications. I will focus on our novel technique for predicting progression trajectories of pathologic gait kinematics from sparse observations, using matrix completion techniques. I will present how we can collect these kinematic data with equipment 100x cheaper than usual and how we model kinematics using reinforcement learning, leveraging large computational resources and domain knowledge embedded in simulation software.
