A Domain-Adapted Machine Learning Approach for Visual Evaluation and Interpretation of Robot-Assisted Surgery Skills
Download2022-01-01
Abed Soleymani, Xingyu Li, Mahdi Tavakoli
In this study, we present an intuitive machine learningbased approach to evaluate and interpret surgical skills level of a participant working with robotic platforms. The proposed method is domain-adapted, i.e., jointly utilizes an end-to-end learning approach for smoothness detection and domain...

Surgical Procedure Understanding, Evaluation, and Interpretation: A Dictionary Factorization Approach
Download2022-01-01
Abed Soleymani, Xingyu Li, Mahdi Tavakoli
In this study, we present a novel machine learning-based technique to help surgical mentors assess surgical motion trajectories and corresponding surgical skills levels in surgical training programs. The proposed method is a variation of sparse coding and dictionary learning that is...
