让神经网络动态学习图结构,提升时空信号预测与脑机接口性能

Graph Variate Neural Networks

  • 用数据驱动的动态连接张量替代固定图结构,实现时序依赖建模
  • 在多个预测任务上超越传统图模型,媲美LSTM与Transformer
  • 适合处理脑电等多通道动态信号,适用于脑机接口等场景

建模动态演化的时空信号是图神经网络领域的关键挑战。传统GNN依赖预设图结构,但该结构未必存在或需独立获取。而从多通道数据中可始终构建随时间演化的功能网络。图变信号分析(GVSA)提出统一框架,以瞬时连接性张量为动态核心,稳定支撑通常由信号自身构建。基于此及图信号处理工具,本文提出图变神经网络(GVNN):其卷积操作结合稳定长期支撑与即时数据驱动交互的信号依赖连接张量,捕捉每时刻的动态统计依赖关系,无需人工滑动窗口,且序列长度上具有线性复杂度。在多个预测基准上,GVNN持续优于强基线图模型,并可媲美广泛使用的序列模型如LSTM和Transformer。在EEG运动想象分类任务中,达到优异准确率,凸显其在脑机接口中的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Modelling dynamically evolving spatio-temporal signals is a prominent challenge in the Graph Neural Network (GNN) literature. Notably, GNNs assume an existing underlying graph structure. While this underlying structure may not always exist or is derived independently from the signal, a temporally evolving functional network can always be constructed from multi-channel data. Graph Variate Signal Analysis (GVSA) defines a unified framework consisting of a network tensor of instantaneous connectivity profiles against a stable support usually constructed from the signal itself. Building on GVSA and tools from graph signal processing, we introduce Graph-Variate Neural Networks (GVNNs): layers that convolve spatio-temporal signals with a signal-dependent connectivity tensor combining a stable long-term support with instantaneous, data-driven interactions. This design captures dynamic statistical interdependencies at each time step without ad hoc sliding windows and admits an efficient implementation with linear complexity in sequence length. Across forecasting benchmarks, GVNNs consistently outperform strong graph-based baselines and are competitive with widely used sequence models such as LSTMs and Transformers. On EEG motor-imagery classification, GVNNs achieve strong accuracy highlighting their potential for brain-computer interface applications.
