Learning Adaptive Safety
Learning Adaptive Safety

In this work, we will delve into the problem of adaptive safe learning for multi-agent systems with CBF. We will show how emergent behavior can be profoundly influenced by the CBF configuration, highlighting the necessity for a responsive and dynamic approach to CBF design.

Patient-specific Heart Modeling for Arrhythmia Ablation
Patient-specific Heart Modeling for Arrhythmia Ablation

Process of patient-specific heart modeling is: extract patient data to tune heart model parameters, next, initiate arrhythmia (the heart's initial state is also extracted from patient data), then solve the heart model equations to simulate patient-specific arrhythmias.

Myocardial fiber effects on arrhythmia activation patterns
Myocardial fiber effects on arrhythmia activation patterns

Our heart model needs to be patient-specific. Therefore, we process clinical data and feed them into the heart model, so that we can tune the heart model’s parameters.
