description

Part 11: New Methods and Tools for Big Data Wokshop (MT4BD); International audience; This paper presents a novel methodology for selecting the most representative features for identifying the presence of the Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The proposed methodology is based on interactive visual analytic based on multi-objective optimisation. The implemented tool processes and visualises the information extracted via performing a typical line-tracking test using a tablet device. Such output information includes several modalities, such as position, velocity, dynamics, etc. Preliminary results depict that the implemented visual analytics technique has a very high potential in discriminating the PD patients from healthy individuals and thus, it can be used for the identification of the best feature type which is representative of the disease presence.
