比较CNN、Transformer和Mamba在可穿戴情绪识别中的表现,发现传统CNN仍最有效。

PPG-Based Affect Recognition with Long-Range Deep Models: A Measurement-Driven Comparison of CNN, Transformer, and Mamba Architectures

  • 用统一流程对比四种模型处理手腕PPG信号
  • Transformer和Mamba性能接近CNN,但未全面超越
  • CNN在准确率和模型大小上最优,适合实际部署

光电容积脉搏波(PPG)因成本低、易集成,正被广泛用于可穿戴情感计算。近年来,长序列建模的Transformer和状态空间模型Mamba在自然语言与通用时序任务中表现出色,但在小样本且噪声多的PPG情感识别任务中是否优于经典卷积神经网络(CNN)和长短期记忆网络(LSTM)尚不明确。本文首次对四种深度学习架构——CNN、CNN-LSTM混合模型、Transformer和Mamba——在腕部PPG信号上的唤醒度、效价和放松状态分类中进行测量驱动的对比研究。所有模型均在主题无关的5折交叉验证下,使用相同的预处理、分段和训练流程评估。结果表明,Transformer和Mamba性能与CNN基线相当,但未在所有任务中持续领先;CNN整体表现最佳,兼具最高准确率与最小模型规模;而Transformer在唤醒度和放松度的F1分数平衡上更优。该研究为可穿戴情感监测系统的模型选型提供了实用依据。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is increasingly used in wearable affective computing due to its low cost and ease of integration into consumer devices. Recent advances in deep learning have introduced long-range sequence models, such as Transformers, and state-space models, like Mamba, which have demonstrated strong performance on natural language and general time-series tasks. However, it remains unclear whether these architectures offer tangible benefits over widely used Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTMs) for PPG-based affect recognition, given that datasets are typically small and noisy. This work presents a measurement-driven comparison of four deep learning architectures, CNN, CNN-LSTM hybrid, Transformers, and Mamba, for classifying arousal, valence, and relaxation states from wrist-based PPG signals. All models are evaluated under a subject-independent 5-fold cross-validation protocol using identical preprocessing, segmentation, and training pipelines. Our results show that the Transformer and Mamba models achieve performance comparable to that of a CNN baseline, but do not consistently outperform it across all tasks. CNNs remain the most effective overall, providing the highest accuracy with the smallest model size, whereas Transformers have a better balance of F1 scores for Arousal and Relaxation. The study provides the first evaluation of Transformer and Mamba models for PPG-based affect recognition, offering practical guidance on model selection for wearable affective monitoring systems.
