AI model achieves 99% accuracy in autism classification using gait analysis

Researchers have developed an attention-enhanced Transformer model for classifying Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using 3D gait analysis. The model achieved high accuracy rates, including 99.00% on a public Kinect-based dataset and 95.00% on an independent force-plate dataset. This approach aims to provide a more objective and efficient method for early ASD screening compared to traditional clinical assessments. AI

IMPACT Offers a potential new avenue for objective, early screening of Autism Spectrum Disorder using AI.
