Transfer Learning for P300 Brain-Computer Interfaces by Joint Alignment of Feature Vectors
Résumé
This paper presents a new transfer learning
method named group learning, that jointly aligns multiple
domains (many-to-many) and an extension named fast
alignment that aligns any further domain to previously
aligned group of domains (many-to-one). The proposed
group alignment algorithm (GALIA) is evaluated on brain-
computer interface (BCI) data and optimal hyper-parameter
values of the algorithm are studied for classification
performance and computational cost. Six publicly available
P300 databases comprising 333 sessions from 177 subjects
are used. As compared to the conventional subject-specific
train/test pipeline, both group learning and fast alignment
significantly improve the classification accuracy except for
the database with clinical subjects (average improvement:
2.12±1.88%). GALIA utilizes cyclic approximate joint
diagonalization (AJD) to find a set of linear transformations,
one for each domain, jointly aligning the feature vectors of
all domains. Group learning achieves a many-to-many
transfer learning without compromising the classification
performance on non-clinical BCI data. Fast alignment further
extends the group learning for any unseen domains, allowing
a many-to-one transfer learning with the same properties.
The former method creates a single machine learning model
using data from previous subjects and/or sessions, whereas
the latter exploits the trained model for an unseen domain
requiring no further training of the classifier.
