论文摘要
情绪识别技术使计算机能够将人类情感状态分类为离散类别。但是，即使在短时间内，情绪也可能会波动，而不是保持稳定状态。由于其3-D拓扑结构，也很难全面使用EEG空间分布。为了解决上述问题，我们在本研究中提出了一个本地时间空间模式学习图表网络（LTS-GAT）。在LTS-GAT中，使用划分和串扰方案来检查基于图形注意机制的脑电图模式的时间和空间维度的局部信息。添加了动态域歧视器，以提高针对脑电图统计数据的个体间变化的鲁棒性，以学习不同参与者的鲁棒性脑电图特征表示。我们在两个公共数据集上评估了LTS-GAT，用于在个人依赖和独立范式下进行情感计算研究。与其他现有主流方法相比，LTS-GAT模型的有效性已证明。此外，使用可视化方法来说明不同大脑区域和情绪识别的关系。同时，还对不同时间段的权重进行了可视化，以研究情绪稀疏问题。
Technique of emotion recognition enables computers to classify human affective states into discrete categories. However, the emotion may fluctuate instead of maintaining a stable state even within a short time interval. There is also a difficulty to take the full use of the EEG spatial distribution due to its 3-D topology structure. To tackle the above issues, we proposed a locally temporal-spatial pattern learning graph attention network (LTS-GAT) in the present study. In the LTS-GAT, a divide-and-conquer scheme was used to examine local information on temporal and spatial dimensions of EEG patterns based on the graph attention mechanism. A dynamical domain discriminator was added to improve the robustness against inter-individual variations of the EEG statistics to learn robust EEG feature representations across different participants. We evaluated the LTS-GAT on two public datasets for affective computing studies under individual-dependent and independent paradigms. The effectiveness of LTS-GAT model was demonstrated when compared to other existing mainstream methods. Moreover, visualization methods were used to illustrate the relations of different brain regions and emotion recognition. Meanwhile, the weights of different time segments were also visualized to investigate emotion sparsity problems.
