用三种时间表示法分析情绪认知变化,发现不同状态预测需不同方法。

Representation Matters in Longitudinal Affective Computing

  • 将密集生理数据映射为波段级特征,比较水平、绝对漂移与比例漂移三种表示
  • 情绪状态由波段间绝对漂移预测最佳,认知表现则依赖波段内水平值
  • 形状特征(如峰度)比均值中位数携带更多信号,适合设备端应用

纵向、真实场景下的可穿戴传感产生日级生理、睡眠、活动与环境数据流,而情绪与认知仅在特定波段中标注。我们将这种节奏不匹配视为时间表征问题,比较三种从密集历史到稀疏标签的波段级映射:波段内汇总(水平)、波段间绝对漂移(绝对变化)与比例漂移。基于82名成人近一年的Providemus alz研究数据,建模21项情绪与认知结果。日尺度信号被压缩为波段级描述符(集中趋势、离散度、分布形态),并使用四种回归器,在两个正交评估轴上测试:留一被试与留一波段。性能以缩放后平均绝对误差报告,涵盖各折叠的均值与中位数。结果表明:情绪状态最宜用波段间绝对漂移预测,认知表现则与波段内水平一致,符合情绪动态理论。在窗口特征中,形状描述符(如极小值、峰度)比均值/中位数更具信息量。本文贡献了稀疏标签建模的三元表征体系、适用于设备端的波段级特征方案,以及分离跨被试泛化与时间鲁棒性的双轴报告实践。这些成果将时间表征从隐式预处理转化为现实脑健康计算中可检验的设计选择。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Longitudinal, in-the-wild, wearable sensing yields day-level physiology, sleep, activity, and environmental streams, whereas affect and cognition are labeled only episodically (per waves). We recast this cadence mismatch as a temporal representation problem and compare three wave-level mappings from dense histories to sparse labels: levels (within-wave summaries), absolute drift (change across waves), and proportional drift. Using almost a year of data from 82 adults in the Providemus alz study, we model 21 affect and cognition outcomes. Day-scale signals are reduced to compact wave-level descriptors (central tendency, dispersion, and distributional shape) and learned with four regressors under two orthogonal evaluation axes: leave-one-subject-out and leave-one-wave-out. Performance is reported as scaled MAE using both mean and median across folds. Differences emerge: affective states are best predicted by wave-to-wave absolute drift, whereas cognitive performance aligns with within-wave levels, reflecting emotion dynamic theories. Across windowing features, shape descriptors (e.g., minima, kurtosis) carry more signal than simple means/medians. We contribute a representation triad for sparse-label modelling, a wave-level feature schema applicable on-device, and a dual-axis reporting practice that separates cross-participant generalization from temporal robustness. These results convert temporal representation from an implicit preprocessing step into an explicit, testable design choice for real-world affective-computing applications in brain health.
