Neurodegenerative diseases affect a large part of the population in the world and also in Mexico, deteriorating gradually the quality of patients’ life. Therefore, it is important to diagnose them with a high degree of reliability. In order to solve it, various computational methods have been applied in the analysis of biomarkers of human gait. In this study, we propose employing the automatic model selection and hyperparameter optimization method that has not been addressed before for this problem. Our results showed highly competitive percentages of correctly classified instances when discriminating binary and multiclass sets of neurodegenerative diseases: Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and Spinocerebellar ataxias.

Structural kernels are a flexible learning paradigm that has been widely used in Natural Language Processing. However, the problem of model selection in kernel-based methods is usually overlooked. Previous approaches mostly rely on setting default values for kernel hyperparameters or using grid search, which is slow and coarse-grained. In contrast, Bayesian methods allow efficient model selection by maximizing the evidence on the training data through gradient-based methods. In this paper we show how to perform this in the context of structural kernels by using Gaussian Processes. Experimental results on tree kernels show that this procedure results in better prediction performance compared to hyperparameter optimization via grid search. The framework proposed in this paper can be adapted to other structures besides trees, e.g., strings and graphs, thereby extending the utility of kernel-based methods.
