  • 用自回归预测下一时刻的信号片段,统一处理多种生理信号。
  • 在睡眠分期任务中,用100倍少的标注数据达到监督模型水平。
  • 能跨时段泛化,白天心电图检测房颤优于专用模型。

基础模型为压缩多模态生理信号提供了新路径,可广泛应用于睡眠医学、心脏病学等领域。现有模型多采用掩码重建或对比学习目标,但前者不适应信号的随机性,后者依赖正样本定义,而生理信号的语义不变性尚不明确。本文提出以“下一个词预测”作为简单且可扩展的替代方案,构建了名为Hypnos的多模态睡眠基础模型。该模型基于超过20,000例整夜多导睡眠图数据,融合8种传感模态(如EEG、ECG、呼吸信号),通过残差向量量化将各模态离散化为令牌流,并训练大型自回归RQ-Transformer并行预测所有模态的下一个令牌。训练后,Hypnos可处理任意子集支持模态的连续传感器数据,生成下游任务嵌入表示。在多个基准测试中,Hypnos显著优于现有基础模型:睡眠分期任务中,使用100倍更少的标注数据即达到强监督基线性能;甚至在白天生理数据上,检测房颤的表现超越专门的ECG基础模型。结果表明,下一个词预测是多模态生理信号表示学习的强大自监督目标。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Foundation models offer a promising route to compress multi-modal physiological signals into compact representations of human health, with broad applications across sleep medicine, cardiology, neurology and other healthcare domains. Existing models have typically been trained with masked-reconstruction or contrastive objectives. However, masked reconstruction may be poorly suited to the stochastic nature of these signals, while contrastive approaches rely on positive-pair definitions despite the semantic invariances of physiological signals being poorly understood. In this work, we show that next-token prediction is a simple and scalable alternative. We develop Hypnos, a multi-modal sleep foundation model trained using eight different sensing modalities (e.g. EEG, ECG, respiratory signals) drawn from over 20,000 overnight polysomnography recordings. We tokenize each modality into streams of discrete tokens using residual vector quantization, then train a large auto-regressive RQ-Transformer to jointly predict the next token across all modalities in parallel. After training, Hypnos can be applied to continuous streams of sensor data from any subset of supported modalities, generating embeddings for downstream tasks. Across a range of benchmarks, Hypnos significantly outperforms existing foundation models. In sleep stage classification, we match the performance of strong supervised baselines on held-out test sets whilst using \(100\times\) less labelled data. Hypnos even generalises to daytime physiology, surpassing a dedicated ECG foundation model at detecting atrial fibrillation. Our results demonstrate that next-token prediction is a strong self-supervised objective for representation learning from multi-modal physiological signals.
