Abstract

AttnSleep Architecture Automatic sleep stage classification is of great importance to measure sleep quality. In this paper, we propose a novel attention-based deep learning architecture called AttnSleep to classify sleep stages using single channel EEG signals. This architecture starts with the feature extraction module based on multi-resolution convolutional neural network (MRCNN) and adaptive feature recalibration (AFR). The MRCNN can extract low and high frequency features and the AFR is able to improve the quality of the extracted features by modeling the inter-dependencies between the features. The second module is the temporal context encoder (TCE) that leverages a multi-head attention mechanism to capture the temporal dependencies among the extracted features. Particularly, the multi-head attention deploys causal convolutions to model the temporal relations in the input features. We evaluate the performance of our proposed AttnSleep model using three public datasets. The results show that our AttnSleep outperforms state-of-the-art techniques in terms of different evaluation metrics.

Requirmenets:

  • Intall jq package (for linux)
  • Python3.7
  • Pytorch=='1.4'
  • Numpy
  • Sklearn
  • Pandas
  • openpyxl
  • mne=='0.20.7'

Prepare datasets

Update: The preprocessed datasets are now available on this Dataverse

We used three public datasets in this study:

After downloading the datasets, you can prepare them as follows:

cd prepare_datasets
python prepare_physionet.py --data_dir /path/to/PSG/files --output_dir edf_20_npz --select_ch "EEG Fpz-Cz"
python prepare_shhs.py --data_dir /path/to/EDF/files --ann_dir /path/to/Annotation/files --output_dir shhs_npz --select_ch "EEG C4-A1"

Training AttnSleep

For updating the training parameters, you have to update the config.json file. In this file, you can update:

  • The experiment name (Recommended to update this for different experiments)
  • The number of GPUs.
  • Batch size.
  • Number of folds (as we use K-fold cross validation).
  • Optimizer type along with its parameters.
  • the loss function. (to update this you have to include the new loss function in the loss.py file).
  • the evaluation metrics (also to add more metrics, update the metrics.py file).
  • The number of training epochs.
  • The save directory (location of saving the results of experiment)
  • The save_period (the interval of saving the checkpoints and best model).
  • verbosity of log (0 for less logs, 2 for all logs, 1 in between)

To perform the standard K-fold cross validation, specify the number of folds in config.json and run the following:

chmod +x batch_train.sh
./batch_train.sh 0 /path/to/npz/files

where the first argument represents the GPU id (If you want to use CPU, set the number of gpus to 0 in the config file)

If you want to train only one specific fold (e.g. fold 10), use this command:

python train_Kfold_CV.py --device 0 --fold_id 10 --np_data_dir /path/to/npz/files

Results

The log file of each fold is found in the fold directory inside the save_dir.
The final classification report is found the experiment directory and note that it sums up all the folds results to calculate the metrics.
