Epilepsy Signal Recognition Using Online Transfer TSK Fuzzy Classifier Underlying Classification Error and Joint...

In this study, an online transfer TSK fuzzy classifier O-T-TSK-FC is proposed for recognizing epilepsy signals. Compared with most of the existing transfer learning models, O-T-TSK-FC enjoys its merits from the following three aspects: 1) Since different patients often response to the same neuronal firing stimulation in different neural manners, the labeled data in the source domain cannot accurately represent the primary EEG data in the target domain. Therefore, we design an objective function which can integrate with subject-specific data in the target domain to induce the target predictive function. 2) A new regularization used for knowledge transfer is proposed from the perspective of error consensus, and its rationality is explained from the perspective of probability density estimation. 3) Clustering is used to partition source domains so as to reduce the computation of O-T-TSK-FC without affecting its performance. Based on the EEG signals collected from Bonn University, six different online scenarios for transfer learning are constructed. Experimental results on them show that O-T-TSK-FC performs better than benchmarking algorithms and robustly.
