Abstract
Emotion recognition based on electroencephalography (EEG) is becoming a growing concern of researchers due to its various applications and portable devices. Existing methods are mainly dedicated to EEG feature representation and have made impressive progress. However, the problem of scarce labels restricts their further promotion. In light of this, we propose a self-supervised framework with contrastive learning for robust EEG-based emotion recognition, which can effectively leverage both readily available unlabeled EEG signals and labeled ones to learn highly discriminative EEG features. Firstly, we construct a specific pretext task according to the sequential non-stationarity of emotional EEG signals for contrastive learning, which aims at extracting pseudo-label information from all EEG data. Meanwhile, we propose a novel negative segment selection algorithm to reduce the noise of unlabeled data during the contrastive learning process. Secondly, to mitigate the overfitting issue induced by a small number of labeled samples during learning, we originate a loss function with label smoothing regularization that can guide the model to learn generalizable features. Extensive experiments over three benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our model on EEG-based emotion recognition task. Besides, the generalization and robustness of the model have also been proved through sufficient experiments.
