Abstract
Sleep staging is to score the sleep state of a subject into different sleep stages such as Wake and Rapid Eye Movement (REM). It plays an indispensable role in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. As manual sleep staging through well-trained sleep experts is time consuming, tedious, and subjective, many automatic methods have been developed for accurate, efficient, and objective sleep staging. Recently, deep learning based methods have been successfully proposed for electroencephalogram (EEG) based sleep staging with promising results. However, most of these methods directly take EEG raw signals as input of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) without considering the domain knowledge of EEG staging. Apart from that, to capture temporal information, most of the existing methods utilize recurrent neural networks such as LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) which are not effective for modelling global temporal context and difficult to train. Therefore, inspired by the clinical guidelines of sleep staging such as AASM (American Academy of Sleep Medicine) rules where different stages are generally characterized by EEG waveforms of various frequencies, we propose a multi-scale deep architecture by decomposing an EEG signal into different frequency bands as input to CNNs. To model global temporal context, we utilize the multi-head self-attention module of the transformer model to not only improve performance, but also shorten the training time. In addition, we choose residual based architecture which makes training end-to-end. Experimental results on two widely used sleep staging datasets, Montreal Archive of Sleep Studies (MASS) and sleep-EDF datasets, demonstrate the effectiveness and significant efficiency (up to 12 times less training time) of our proposed method over the state-of-the-art.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
