Evaluating performance bias in face-to-BMI vision transformer models across diverse human populations

Computer vision models that estimate body mass index (BMI) from facial features offer a non-invasive, low-cost alternative to physical measurement, with uses in telemedicine, emergency care where a scale or measuring tools arent available, automated self-monitoring, and large-scale epidemiological research. Most of these models, however, are trained on government records, social media images, and ...

SMOTE-VAR: An Uncertainty-Aware Oversampling Method for Predicting Depression Remission in University Students

University students experience disproportionately high rates of common mental health conditions, such as depression, which can impair learning, social functioning, and overall well-being. Although lifestyle interventions such as mindfulness and physical activity can reduce the symptoms, many do not achieve symptomatic remission. Developing new approaches to identify students with poor outcomes cou...
