Enhanced cross-dataset electroencephalogram-based emotion recognition using unsupervised domain adaptation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Emotion recognition holds great promise in healthcare and in the development of affect-sensitive systems such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). However, the high cost of labeled data and significant differences in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals among individuals limit the cross-domain application of EEG-based emotion recognition models. Addressing cross-dataset scenarios poses greater challenges due to changes in subject demographics, recording devices, and stimuli presented. To tackle these challenges, we propose an improved method for classifying EEG-based emotions across domains with different distributions. We propose a Gradual Proximity-guided Target Data Selection (GPTDS) technique, which gradually selects reliable target domain samples for training based on their proximity to the source clusters and the model's confidence in predicting them. This approach avoids negative transfer caused by diverse and unreliable samples. Additionally, we introduce a cost-effective test-time augmentation (TTA) technique named Prediction Confidence-aware Test-Time Augmentation (PC-TTA). Traditional TTA methods often face substantial computational burden, limiting their practical utility. By applying TTA only when necessary, based on the model's predictive confidence, our approach improves the model's performance during inference while minimizing computational costs compared to traditional TTA approaches. Experiments on the DEAP and SEED datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, achieving accuracies of 67.44% when trained on DEAP and tested on SEED, and 59.68% vice versa, with improvements of 7.09% and 6.07% over the baseline. It excels in detecting both positive and negative emotions, highlighting its effectiveness for practical emotion recognition in healthcare applications. Moreover, our proposed PC-TTA technique reduces computational time by a factor of 15 compared to traditional full TTA approaches.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
