Partial Label Learning for Emotion Recognition from EEG

This is the implementation of Partial Label Learning for Emotion Recognition from EEG in PyTorch (Version 1.11.0).

This repository contains the source code of our paper, using a large publicly avaiable dataset, SEED-V. 16 participants were involved in experiments with videos as emotion stimuli (five emotions: happy/sad/disgust/neutral/fear). 62 EEG recordings were collected with a sampling frequency of 1000Hz.

Prerequisites

Please follow the steps below in order to be able to train our models:

1 - Install Requirements

pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt

2 - Download the extracted differential entropy features and labels provided by the dataset. Follow the data loader code while strictly following the official dataset description.

3 - Usage: In order to have a user-friendly interface, we provide bash file for runing all the partial label learning experiments under various settings. Run the command to excute the bash file:

bash ./run.sh

Enter the values specified in the terminal hint. These may include integers, strings, or boolean values. For the method name, choose one of 'DNPL', 'PRODEN', 'CAVL', 'CR', 'LW', or 'PiCO'. For label disambiguation, enter 'true' or 'false'. For partial label type, enter 'uniform' or 'emotion'. For loss name, enter 'sigmoid' or 'cross_entropy'. For beta values in the LW method, enter '0.0', '1.0', or '2.0'. For the PiCO method, enter 'true' or 'false' to determine whether contrastive learning should be used. An example is shown in the screenshot.

Document Description

• \parsing: includes argument specifications for all partial label learning methods.
• \backbone_model: includes the backbone model for all the methods.
• \train_func: includes the training steps for all partial label learning methods, including DNPL, PRODEN, CAVL, LW, CR, and PiCO, for EEG representation learning in emotion recognition tasks.
• \main: includes implementation of experiments for several state-of-the-art partial label learning methods: DNPL, PRODEN, CAVL, LW, CR, and PiCO. In the paper, we conducted experiments with and without label disambiguation for most of these methods. To make the code easier to understand, the label disambiguation process is placed in the 'confidence_update' function within the class of each method. To enable label disambiguation in an experiment, simply add the '--use-confidence' flag to the command line. The DNPL method is the only exception and does not use label disambiguation.
• \polar_coordinate: inlcudes generation of simlarities among five emotions based on the emotion wheel.
• \utils: includes model paramter initialization, methods for generating candidate labels based on classical (uniform distribution) and real-world (emotion similarity) settings, a custom PyTorch data loader, as well as contrastive learning loss functions.
