Attention-Enhanced Deep Learning Classifies Autism from 3D Gait Data

A new arXiv preprint describes a deep learning pipeline that uses 3D gait recordings to help identify autism spectrum disorder, aiming to sidestep the subjectivity and cost of standard clinical assessments. The approach adds attention mechanisms to the model and evaluates results across multiple data folds to test how stable the performance is. The work is presented as a step toward more objective, non-invasive screening tools, though the abstract only covers the motivation and method rather than deployment.
