解决脑电情绪识别中时间尺度标签不一致问题,提升模型泛化与可解释性。
Commuting Distance Regularization for Timescale-Dependent Label Inconsistency in EEG Emotion Recognition
- 基于有界变差函数与行走在图上的距离设计正则化方法
- 在DREAMER和DEAP数据集上超越现有基线,平均排名领先
- 适合需要可解释性的情绪识别研究者使用
本文针对脑电情绪识别中常被忽视的时间尺度依赖标签不一致(TsDLI)问题,提出两种新颖的正则化策略:局部变差损失(LVL)与局部-全局一致性损失(LGCL)。两者均在图论框架下引入有界变差函数与行走过程距离等数学原理。为更准确评估时序局部预测与全局情绪标签的一致性,我们还设计了一套新评价指标。在两个主流脑电情绪数据集DREAMER和DEAP上,对LSTM与基于Transformer的多种神经网络架构进行了全面实验。使用五种不同指标综合评估,结果表明所提方法持续优于当前最优基线,在所有骨干网络与指标组合中,LVL取得最佳综合排名,LGCL多次位列第二,验证了该框架在标签不一致下的有效性与可解释性平衡能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this work, we address the often-overlooked issue of Timescale Dependent Label Inconsistency (TsDLI) in training neural network models for EEG-based human emotion recognition. To mitigate TsDLI and enhance model generalization and explainability, we propose two novel regularization strategies: Local Variation Loss (LVL) and Local-Global Consistency Loss (LGCL). Both methods incorporate classical mathematical principles--specifically, functions of bounded variation and commute-time distances--within a graph theoretic framework. Complementing our regularizers, we introduce a suite of new evaluation metrics that better capture the alignment between temporally local predictions and their associated global emotion labels. We validate our approach through comprehensive experiments on two widely used EEG emotion datasets, DREAMER and DEAP, across a range of neural architectures including LSTM and transformer-based models. Performance is assessed using five distinct metrics encompassing both quantitative accuracy and qualitative consistency. Results consistently show that our proposed methods outperform state-of-the-art baselines, delivering superior aggregate performance and offering a principled trade-off between interpretability and predictive power under label inconsistency. Notably, LVL achieves the best aggregate rank across all benchmarked backbones and metrics, while LGCL frequently ranks the second, highlighting the effectiveness of our framework.
