Labeling Emotion01:20

Labeling Emotion

495
Emotional labeling is a cognitive process that involves identifying and naming one's emotions, such as anger, fear, happiness, or sadness. It allows individuals to recognize and express their internal emotional states, a critical aspect of emotional regulation and communication. Labeling emotions requires more than mere recognition; it also involves drawing upon memory and contextual cues to understand the current situation and apply a corresponding emotional label. For instance, feeling...

Data scarcity in electroencephalography (EEG) emotion recognition is addressed by new generative models. Selective WGAN (sWGAN) and other methods augment EEG data, significantly improving affective model accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Machine Learning
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Emotion recognition from electroencephalography (EEG) faces challenges due to data scarcity, hindering the development of accurate machine learning and deep neural network models.
  • Deep generative models offer potential solutions for augmenting limited EEG datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the data scarcity problem in EEG-based emotion recognition by proposing novel data augmentation methods.
  • To enhance the performance of affective models through improved EEG training datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed three data augmentation methods: conditional Wasserstein GAN (cWGAN), selective VAE (sVAE), and selective WGAN (sWGAN).
  • Employed full and partial usage strategies for data augmentation, with partial usage selecting only high-quality generated data.

  • Generated realistic EEG data in power spectral density and differential entropy forms for augmentation.

    • Main Results:

    • Systematic experiments on SEED and DEAP EEG datasets demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
    • Generative model-based augmentation outperformed existing methods like conditional VAE, Gaussian noise, and rotational augmentation.
    • Optimal performance was achieved when the number of generated data points was less than 10 times the original dataset size.

    Conclusions:

    • The selective WGAN (sWGAN) method significantly enhances the performance of EEG-based emotion recognition models.
    • Data augmentation using generative models is a viable strategy to overcome data scarcity in affective computing.
