This seminar will enable you to work in groups and apply robust signal processing and machine learning algorithms to real-world biomedical data.

Because of the current COVID-19 pandemic data it is not possible to collect new data. Instead biomedical databases and existing datasets are provided to you. You will present your results during a 20-minute presentation followed by questions. The final assessment is based on the presentation (60 Percent) and an oral examination (40 Percent).

A series lectures provides the necessary background on robust and biomedical signal processing and machine learning. Possible topics include but are not limited to

  • Optical heart rate sensing (PPG)
  • Signal processing for the electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Biomedical image processing
  • Clustering or classification of biomedical data
  • Feature extraction from physiological signals
  • Artifact removal in biomedical time-series
  • Matrix completion for biomedical images
  • Cuff-less blood pressure estimation
  • Signal processing for eye research
Students are encouraged to choose topics based on their interest, or to suggest a topic that they would like to investigate.
