A Novel Dataset for Video-Based Autism Classification Leveraging Extra-Stimulatory Behavior
<|reference_start|>A Novel Dataset for Video-Based Autism Classification Leveraging Extra-Stimulatory Behavior: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can affect individuals at varying degrees of intensity, from challenges in overall health, communication, and sensory processing, and this often begins at a young age. Thus, it is critical for medical professionals to be able to accurately diagnose ASD in young children, but doing so is difficult. Deep learning can be responsibly leveraged to improve productivity in addressing this task. The availability of data, however, remains a considerable obstacle. Hence, in this work, we introduce the Video ASD dataset--a dataset that contains video frame convolutional and attention map feature data--to foster further progress in the task of ASD classification. The original videos showcase children reacting to chemo-sensory stimuli, among auditory, touch, and vision This dataset contains the features of the frames spanning 2,467 videos, for a total of approximately 1.4 million frames. Additionally, head pose angles are included to account for head movement noise, as well as full-sentence text labels for the taste and smell videos that describe how the facial expression changes before, immediately after, and long after interaction with the stimuli. In addition to providing features, we also test foundation models on this data to showcase how movement noise affects performance and the need for more data and more complex labels.<|reference_end|>
