LGGNet: Learning From Local-Global-Graph Representations for Brain-Computer Interface.

Neuropsychological studies suggest that co-operative activities among different brain functional areas drive high-level cognitive processes. To learn the brain activities within and among different functional areas of the brain, we propose local-global-graph network (LGGNet), a novel neurologically inspired graph neural network (GNN), to learn local-global-graph (LGG) representations of electroencephalography (EEG) for brain-computer interface (BCI). The input layer of LGGNet comprises a series of temporal convolutions with multiscale 1-D convolutional kernels and kernel-level attentive fusion.

Episodic task agnostic contrastive training for multi-task learning.

Learning knowledge from different tasks to improve the general learning performance is crucial for designing an efficient algorithm. In this work, we tackle the Multi-task Learning (MTL) problem, where the learner extracts the knowledge from different tasks simultaneously with limited data. Previous works have been designing the MTL models by taking advantage of the transfer learning techniques, requiring the knowledge of the task index, which is not realistic in many practical scenarios.
