解决脑电与生理信号时间不同步下的融合难题,实现高效自监督建模。

Cross-Temporal Attention Fusion (CTAF) for Multimodal Physiological Signals in Self-Supervised Learning

  • 通过时序感知交叉注意力学习多模态间软对齐关系。
  • 在K-EmoCon数据集上实现1秒内跨模态检索,匹配对余弦间距更高。
  • 适合资源有限、标签稀缺的生理信号融合场景。

研究脑电(EEG)与外周生理信号在时间不同步下的多模态情感建模问题,现有融合方法通常忽略或依赖昂贵的时间对齐操作。本文提出一种自监督模块Cross-Temporal Attention Fusion(CTAF),通过时序感知交叉注意力、轻量级融合门和对齐正则化的对比学习目标,直接建模模态间的软双向对齐关系,构建鲁棒的片段嵌入。在K-EmoCon数据集上,采用留一法交叉验证,CTAF在匹配样本对中产生更高的余弦距离,并在1秒内完成跨模态标记检索;同时在三分类准确率和宏平均F1指标上与基线相当,仅需少量标签。贡献包括:一种直接建模对应关系的时序感知融合机制、针对EEG与生理信号设计的对齐驱动自监督目标,以及评估对齐质量的新型评价协议。该方法捕捉了中枢与自主神经系统在心理生理时间序列中的耦合特性。结果表明,CTAF是实现标签高效、可泛化的心电-外周信号融合的重要进展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We study multimodal affect modeling when EEG and peripheral physiology are asynchronous, which most fusion methods ignore or handle with costly warping. We propose Cross-Temporal Attention Fusion (CTAF), a self-supervised module that learns soft bidirectional alignments between modalities and builds a robust clip embedding using time-aware cross attention, a lightweight fusion gate, and alignment-regularized contrastive objectives with optional weak supervision. On the K-EmoCon dataset, under leave-one-out cross-validation evaluation, CTAF yields higher cosine margins for matched pairs and better cross-modal token retrieval within one second, and it is competitive with the baseline on three-bin accuracy and macro-F1 while using few labels. Our contributions are a time-aware fusion mechanism that directly models correspondence, an alignment-driven self-supervised objective tailored to EEG and physiology, and an evaluation protocol that measures alignment quality itself. Our approach accounts for the coupling between the central and autonomic nervous systems in psychophysiological time series. These results indicate that CTAF is a strong step toward label-efficient, generalizable EEG-peripheral fusion under temporal asynchrony.
