- 结合卷积神经网络与手工设计的呼吸特征,实现可解释的状态识别。

- 提出自相关过渡时滞等新标记,适合关注生理机制的研究者。
呼吸活动是可穿戴设备进行压力与情绪状态识别的直接且可解释的生理通道,但许多研究仅关注分类精度而未揭示区分不同状态的关键呼吸特性。本文将基于呼吸信号的识别重构为预测与解释并重的任务。利用WESAD数据集的胸腔呼吸通道,在留一被试者验证下分析60秒窗口,整合两个互补分支:紧凑的原始信号一维卷积神经网络(1D-CNN)和物理分组的手工呼吸特征。主要任务为二分类的压力与非压力检测,同时在一对多设置下分析基线、压力、愉悦与冥想状态,以揭示状态特异性呼吸标记。特征空间涵盖呼吸节律、呼气间变异性、波形统计量、谱/时频描述符、自相关与非线性可预测性描述符,原始60秒信号作为CNN分支的第六种表示。引入自相关过渡时滞(Zpm/Zmp)作为呼吸相关尺度的可解释标记,并独立评估探索性FEG-Pro/类似Lyapunov描述符。最终在CNN重训练设置中,原始信号模型在压力对非压力任务上表现最优,准确率96.72%,宏平均F1 95.30%,马修相关系数(MCC)90.61%。而紧凑特征模型在基线(MCC 65.34%)、愉悦(MCC 35.69%)及尤其冥想状态(MCC 88.65%)上更优。结果表明,CNN适用于实际压力检测,而可解释的呼吸特征则为多种非压力状态提供更强且更生理透明的标记。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Respiratory activity is a direct and interpretable physiological channel for wearable stress and affective-state recognition, yet many studies emphasize classification accuracy without identifying which respiratory properties separate different states. This work reframes RESP-based recognition as a joint predictive and explanatory problem. Using the chest respiratory channel of the WESAD dataset, we analyze 60 s windows under leave-one-subject-out validation and combine two complementary branches: compact raw-signal one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNNs) and physically grouped handcrafted respiratory signatures. The primary application task is binary stress versus non-stress detection, while baseline, stress, amusement, and meditation are additionally analyzed in a one-vs-rest setting to reveal state-specific respiratory markers. The feature space is organized into respiratory timing, breath-to-breath variability, waveform statistics, spectral/time-frequency descriptors, and autocorrelation/nonlinear predictability descriptors, with the raw 60 s signal treated as a sixth representation for the CNN branch. We introduce autocorrelation transition lags (Zpm/Zmp) as interpretable markers of respiratory correlation scale and separately evaluate exploratory FEG-Pro/Lyapunov-like descriptors. In the final CNN refit setting, the raw-signal model achieved the strongest stress-vs-rest performance, with accuracy 96.72 percent, macro-F1 95.30 percent, and MCC 90.61 percent. In contrast, compact feature models were stronger for baseline, with MCC 65.34 percent, amusement, with MCC 35.69 percent, and especially meditation, with MCC 88.65 percent. These results show that CNNs are most useful for the practical stress detector, whereas interpretable respiratory signatures provide stronger and more physiologically transparent state-specific markers for several non-stress conditions.
