  • 首次将流匹配用于表面肌电信号生成,提升稳定性。
  • 在三个数据集上优于生成对抗网络和扩散模型。
  • 生成速度快,适合实际肌电控制系统部署。

基于深度学习的表面肌电(sEMG)手势识别常受限于数据稀缺和受试者多样性不足。尽管生成对抗网络(GANs)和扩散模型可用于合成数据增强,但存在训练不稳定或推理效率低的问题。为此,我们提出EMGFlow,一种条件化sEMG生成框架。据我们所知,这是首个探索流匹配(FM)与连续时间生成建模在sEMG领域应用的研究。我们在三个基准sEMG数据集上采用统一评估协议,综合考量特征保真度、分布几何结构及下游任务性能。大量实验表明,EMGFlow在多个指标上优于传统数据增强与GAN基线,并在“用合成数据训练、真实数据测试”(TSTR)协议下表现强于所考虑的扩散基线。通过优化数值求解器与时间采样策略,进一步提升了生成质量与效率平衡。结果表明,流匹配是解决肌电控制数据瓶颈的高效新范式。代码已开源:https://github.com/Open-EXG/EMGFlow。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Deep learning-based surface electromyography (sEMG) gesture recognition is frequently bottlenecked by data scarcity and limited subject diversity. While synthetic data generation via Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and diffusion models has emerged as a promising augmentation strategy, these approaches often face challenges regarding training stability or inference efficiency. To bridge this gap, we propose EMGFlow, a conditional sEMG generation framework. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the application of Flow Matching (FM) and continuous-time generative modeling in the sEMG domain. To validate EMGFlow across three benchmark sEMG datasets, we employ a unified evaluation protocol integrating feature-based fidelity, distributional geometry, and downstream utility. Extensive evaluations show that EMGFlow outperforms conventional augmentation and GAN baselines, and provides stronger standalone utility than the diffusion baselines considered here under the train-on-synthetic test-on-real (TSTR) protocol. Furthermore, by optimizing generation dynamics through advanced numerical solvers and targeted time sampling, EMGFlow achieves improved quality-efficiency trade-offs. Taken together, these results suggest that Flow Matching is a promising and efficient paradigm for addressing data bottlenecks in myoelectric control systems.
