Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Early detection of autism is an essential first step toward access to intervention and services, which can improve quality of life and long-term outcomes. Although autism screening questionnaires are useful, they require literacy and have lower accuracy in real-world settings. Thus, there remains a need for feasible, accurate, and scalable methods for directly observing and quantifying early signs of autism. We have validated a digital phenotyping application (SenseToKnow) which can be remotely administered on a smartphone or tablet and uses computer vision and machine learning to accurately detect autism in young children. This presentation will discuss how SenseToKnow and other computational approaches based on machine learning are transforming methods for the early detection of autism.
