Abstract: 

Early screening for cognitive health development disorders among children is a novel and challenging application domain to predictive modeling techniques.

We present the challenges, solutions, insights, and results of our user-facing solution that screens for autism by combining multiple predictors based on multiple media inputs, while allowing for inconclusive determination on hard-to-screen subjects.

Outline:
▪ Using predictive modeling techniques for early screening for cognitive health development disorders among children
▪ The challenges, solutions, insights, and results of our user-facing machine learning solution that screens for autism
▪ How do you combine predictors based on multiple media inputs - including video and datasets - for hard-to-screen subjects
