Escaping the BLEU Trap: A Signal-Grounded Framework with Decoupled Semantic Guidance for EEG-to-Text Decoding

  • 从脑电中提取情感、话题等四类语义信号,引导大模型生成
  • 在噪声输入下仍能减少幻觉,比现有方法更真实可靠
  • 打破BLEU分数陷阱,用新评估方式揭示模型真实水平

从非侵入式脑电(EEG)信号解码自然语言是一项前景广阔但极具挑战的任务。当前先进模型受限于三大根本问题:语义偏倚,导致输出趋于通用语言模板;信号忽视,模型依赖大语言模型先验生成流畅文本,即使无有效信号;以及“BLEU陷阱”,高频停用词使n-gram指标虚高,掩盖了真实语义一致性缺失。为此,我们突破传统端到端范式,提出SemKey——一种多阶段框架,通过四个解耦的语义目标(情感、话题、长度、意外性)强制信号驱动生成。这些语义锚点直接从EEG嵌入中提取,并通过主动检索解码机制统一,迫使大模型将生成锚定在神经信号上,而非默认语言先验。此外,我们通过严格的检索与分布度量(如弗雷歇距离)建立综合评估协议,打破BLEU陷阱。大量实验表明,SemKey能有效缓解噪声输入下的幻觉,且在这些鲁棒评估协议下达到最优性能。代码将在录用后公开于https://github.com/xmed-lab/SemKey。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Decoding natural language from non-invasive EEG signals is a promising yet challenging task. However, current state-of-the-art models remain constrained by three fundamental issues: Semantic Bias, where outputs collapse into generic linguistic templates; Signal Neglect, where models rely heavily on LLM priors to hallucinate fluent text even in the absence of meaningful signals; and the "BLEU Trap", where high-frequency stopwords inflate n-gram metrics, masking a lack of true semantic fidelity. To resolve these challenges, we move beyond conventional end-to-end pipelines and propose SemKey, a novel multi-stage framework that enforces signal-grounded generation through four decoupled semantic objectives: sentiment, topic, length, and surprisal. We extract these semantic anchors from EEG embeddings directly, then unify them with an Active Retrieval Decoding mechanism, compelling the LLM to ground its token generation in the neural signals rather than defaulting to linguistic priors. Furthermore, we break the BLEU Trap by establishing a comprehensive evaluation protocol using rigorous retrieval and distribution-based metrics such as Fréchet Distance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SemKey effectively mitigates hallucinations on noise inputs and achieves SOTA performance on these robust protocols. Code will be released upon acceptance at https://github.com/xmed-lab/SemKey.
