Our lab OxWearables is offering an exciting fully funded UNIQ+ summer internship for students in the UK to work on machine learning heterogeneity in population health in collaboration with Thomas Nichols @nichols.bsky.social and Yifan Yu. Apply before Feb 17 and select project population health 1.

Pleased to share our preprint on an open-source method that offers the most robust way to measure steps from wrist-worn accelerometers in large-scale studies such as the UK Biobank. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵

Global sea ice extent currently 5 standard deviations below climatology. That’s the same significance level that was used to prove that the Higgs Boson exists.

How does methane impact health? Had fun exploring this question over the past few days Wellcome with my team Fabian Reitzug and Eloise Ockenden for the #ideathon. Lovely getting to know everyone involved!

Job alert - researcher position for those interested in -omics discovery with respect to device-measured activity, sleep, and circadian rhythms OxWearables Big Data Institute Oxford Population Health (OxPop) University of Oxford tinyurl.com/wearOmics Please feel to email me to find out more.

Last month, three DPhil students from the BDI were selected to participate in the Data Science Ideathon organised by Wellcome. They used their skills and knowledge to map methane emissions and health outcomes.💻🌍 Read more on the BDI website 👉 bit.ly/45prNPy

⏳One month to apply for a DPhil position in our group! ➡️Details here: ndph.ox.ac.uk/study-with-us/… ➡️Please contact to discuss!

The much waited CAPTURE-24 description and benchmark paper has finally come live. CAPTURE-24 contains activity tracker data in the wild from 151 participants, aka 3883 hours of accelerometer. The associated code and benchmark are also released! arxiv.org/abs/2402.19229

Happy to announce our foundation model for wearables published at npj Digital Medicine today. This model sets a new standard in #Wearables, significantly outperforming human activity recognition benchmarks in diverse conditions. 🚀 nature.com/articles/s4174…

Interested in learning more about wearables in large-scale biomedical studies? We're running a residential short course from 22 - 26 September at Oxford Includes: inspirational speakers, great tutors, and hands-on data analysis. conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/machin…

Motion blur typically breaks SLAM/SfM algorithms - but what if blur was actually the key to super-robust motion estimation? In our new work, Image as an IMU, Ronnie Clark and I demonstrate exactly how a single motion-blurred image can be used to our advantage. 🧵1/9

Introducing the X account for the Perceptual Intelligence and Extended Reality Lab (PIXL) at Oxford Comp Sci! We’ll share discussions, interesting talks and research projects from our group. Check our work at: pixl.cs.ox.ac.uk 📸From our spring outing Hawk Conservancy Trust
