Performance Modeling for Correlation-based Neural Decoding of Auditory Attention to Speech
- 基于费雪变换的正态分布建模相关性,预测不同窗口下的性能
- 模型误差仅约2个百分点,94%真实准确率在预测置信区间内
- 适用于神经听觉设备实时调参,减少重复实验成本
基于相关性的听觉注意力解码(AAD)算法通过脑电图信号追踪神经响应,利用解码神经反应与不同说话人语音刺激之间的相关系数作为决策变量。然而,决策窗口长度在时间分辨率与解码准确率之间存在关键权衡。传统方法需在多个窗口长度下评估准确率以绘制性能曲线,耗时耗力。本文提出一种新方法,仅需单个窗口长度的标注相关性即可建模该权衡曲线。通过对相关性应用费雪变换后,用正态分布拟合注意与不注意的相关性,实现跨窗口长度的准确率精准预测。我们在两种不同实现方式——线性解码器与非线性VLAAI深度神经网络——上验证了该方法,分别使用两个独立数据集。结果表明,建模误差始终低于约2个百分点,94%的真实准确率落在预测的95%置信区间内。该方法无需大量多窗口评估,显著提升效率,可应用于神经引导助听设备中的性能监控与系统参数动态自适应。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Correlation-based auditory attention decoding (AAD) algorithms exploit neural tracking mechanisms to determine listener attention among competing speech sources via, e.g., electroencephalography signals. The correlation coefficients between the decoded neural responses and encoded speech stimuli of the different speakers then serve as AAD decision variables. A critical trade-off exists between the temporal resolution (the decision window length used to compute these correlations) and the AAD accuracy. This trade-off is typically characterized by evaluating AAD accuracy across multiple window lengths, leading to the performance curve. We propose a novel method to model this trade-off curve using labeled correlations from only a single decision window length. Our approach models the (un)attended correlations with a normal distribution after applying the Fisher transformation, enabling accurate AAD accuracy prediction across different window lengths. We validate the method on two distinct AAD implementations: a linear decoder and the non-linear VLAAI deep neural network, evaluated on separate datasets. Results show consistently low modeling errors of approximately 2 percent points, with 94% of true accuracies falling within estimated 95%-confidence intervals. The proposed method enables efficient performance curve modeling without extensive multi-window length evaluation, facilitating practical applications in, e.g., performance tracking in neuro-steered hearing devices to continuously adapt the system parameters over time.
