LGFNet通过局部全局融合与CTC引导,提升单通道睡眠分期准确性。
LGFNet: A CTC-Guided Local-Global Fusion Framework for Single-Channel Sleep Staging

- 设计局部-全局融合编码器,同时捕捉细粒度时序与长程睡眠结构
- 在多数据集上超越现有方法,尤其在N1和过渡段提升显著
- 适合可穿戴设备等低延迟真实场景的睡眠分析应用
睡眠分期因长程时序依赖、阶段转换模糊(尤其是N1期)以及跨受试者、采样率和脑电图电极布局的数据分布偏移而面临挑战,这些困难在可穿戴设备所需的单通道、低延迟场景中尤为突出。为此,我们提出LGFNet,一种基于CTC引导的序列到序列睡眠分期框架。LGFNet引入局部-全局融合编码器,联合建模细粒度时序动态与长程睡眠结构,克服传统串行混合架构的局限性。采用CTC-注意力联合训练范式,统一时间对齐与上下文依赖建模,提升阶段边界与转换识别精度。此外,设计三阶段解码策略,结合CTC引导解码与Viterbi平滑,减少误差累积并保证生理一致性。在五个公开基准上的跨数据集评估表明,LGFNet持续优于当前最优单通道方法。特别地,在Sleep-EDF-78数据集上,相比DMIN,准确率提升+1.27%,宏平均F1提升+1.74%,一致性系数提升+1.93%,在N1期和过渡段表现尤为突出,验证了其在不同采样率、电极布局和记录环境下的强鲁棒性与泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Sleep staging remains challenging due to long-range temporal dependencies, ambiguous stage transitions-particularly in N1-and substantial distribution shifts across subjects, sampling rates, and EEG montages. These difficulties are further amplified in single-channel, low-latency scenarios required by wearable and real-world applications. To address these issues, we propose LGFNet, a CTC-guided sequence-to-sequence framework for robust sleep staging. LGFNet introduces a Local-Global Fusion encoder that jointly models fine-grained temporal dynamics and long-range sleep structure, overcoming the limitations of conventional serial hybrid architectures. A CTC-Attention joint training paradigm is adopted to unify temporal alignment with context-dependent modeling, enabling more accurate recognition of stage boundaries and transitions. Furthermore, a three-stage decoding strategy is devised, leveraging CTC-guided decoding and Viterbi-based smoothing to reduce error accumulation and enforce physiological consistency. Extensive cross-dataset evaluations on five public benchmarks demonstrate that LGFNet consistently outperforms state-of-the-art single-channel methods. In particular, on Sleep-EDF-78, LGFNet surpasses DMIN by +1.27% accuracy, +1.74% macro-F1, and +1.93% kappa, with pronounced gains on N1 and transition segments, highlighting its robustness and strong generalization across diverse sampling rates, montages, and recording environments.
