可穿戴设备采集的生物信号广泛应用于医疗场景。当前机器学习模型常依赖从信号中提取的特征,因其有效性、低维度及对多种模型架构的良好兼容性。然而,现有特征提取方法普遍缺乏任务相关的上下文知识,在高维组合特征空间中难以识别最优特征,且易产生自动化代码生成与执行错误。本文提出DeepFeature,首个面向可穿戴生物信号的、基于大模型的上下文感知特征生成框架。该框架引入多源特征生成机制,融合大模型能力、领域专家知识与特征间交互关系;采用基于特征评估反馈的迭代优化流程实现特征重选;并通过多层次过滤与验证机制确保特征描述到代码的转换可靠性。实验表明,DeepFeature在样本级和受试者级设置下,于8项任务中均达到最高平均AUROC,分别优于最佳基线4.56%和4.61%。其在PPG-BP任务中增益最为显著,同时在癫痫、WESAD及自采SEN数据集上保持竞争力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Biosignals collected from wearable devices are widely utilized in healthcare applications. Machine learning models used in these applications often rely on features extracted from biosignals due to their effectiveness, lower data dimensionality, and wide compatibility across various model architectures. However, existing feature extraction methods often lack task-specific contextual knowledge, struggle to identify optimal features in high-dimensional combinatorial feature space, and are prone to automated code generation and execution errors. In this paper, we propose DeepFeature, the first LLM-empowered, context-aware feature generation framework for wearable biosignals. DeepFeature introduces a multi-source feature generation mechanism that integrates the inherent ability of LLMs, expert knowledge and inter-feature interactions. It also employs an iterative feature refinement process that uses feature assessment-based feedback for feature re-selection. Additionally, DeepFeature utilizes a robust multi-layer filtering and verification approach for feature description-to-code translation to ensure that the feature extraction functions run without crashing. Experimental evaluation results show that DeepFeature achieves the highest average AUROC across eight tasks under both sample-level and subject-level settings, outperforming the best baselines by 4.56% and 4.61%, respectively. DeepFeature achieves the most pronounced gains on the PPG-BP tasks, while remaining competitive with the best-performing baselines on Epilepsy, WESAD, and our self-collected SEN dataset.
