In the inference process of existing deep learning models, it is usually necessary to process the input data level-wise, and impose a corresponding relational inductive bias on each level. This kind of relational inductive bias determines the theoretical performance upper limit of the deep learning method. In the field of sleep stage classification, only a single relational inductive bias is adopted at the same level in the mainstream methods based on deep learning. This will make the feature extraction method of deep learning incomplete and limit the performance of the method. In view of the above problems, a novel deep learning model based on hybrid relational inductive biases is proposed in this paper. It is called CCRRSleepNet. The model divides the single channel Electroencephalogram (EEG) data into three levels: frame, epoch, and sequence. It applies hybrid relational inductive biases from many aspects based on three levels. Meanwhile, multiscale atrous convolution block (MSACB) is adopted in CCRRSleepNet to learn the features of different attributes. However, in practice, the actual performance of the deep learning model depends on the nonrelational inductive biases, so a variety of matching nonrelational inductive biases are adopted in this paper to optimize CCRRSleepNet. The CCRRSleepNet is tested on the Fpz-Cz and Pz-Oz channel data of the Sleep-EDF dataset. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper is superior to many existing methods.

Purpose: Sleep is one of the necessities of the body, such as eating, drinking, etc., that affects different aspects of human life. Sleep monitoring and sleep stage classification play an important role in the diagnosis of sleeprelated diseases and neurological disorders. Empirically, classification of sleep stages is a time-consuming, tedious, and complex task, which heavily depends on the experience of the experts. As a result, there is a crucial need for an automatic efficient sleep staging system. Materials and Methods: This study develops a 13-layer 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using singlechannel Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal for extracting features automatically and classifying the sleep stages. To overcome the negative effect of an imbalance dataset, we have used the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE). In our study, the single-channel EEG signal is given to a 1D CNN, without any feature extraction/selection processes. This deep network can self-learn the discriminative features from the EEG signal. Results: Applying the proposed method to sleep-EDF dataset resulted in overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and Precision of 94.09%, 74.73%, 96.43%, and 71.02%, respectively, for classifying five sleep stages. Using single-channel EEG and providing a network with fewer trainable parameters than most of the available deep learning-based methods are the main advantages of the proposed method. Conclusion: In this study, a 13-layer 1D CNN model was proposed for sleep stage classification. This model has an end-to-end complete architecture and does not require any separate feature extraction/selection and classification stages. Having a low number of network parameters and layers while still having high classification accuracy, is the main advantage of the proposed method over most of the previous deep learning-based approaches.

Abstract Study Objectives Polysomnography (PSG) scoring is labor intensive and suffers from variability in inter- and intra-rater reliability. Automated PSG scoring has the potential to reduce the human labor costs and the variability inherent to this task. Deep learning is a form of machine learning that uses neural networks to recognize data patterns by inspecting many examples rather than by following explicit programming. Methods A sleep staging classifier trained using deep learning methods scored PSG data from the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS). The training set was composed of 42 560 hours of PSG data from 5213 patients. To capture higher-order data, spectrograms were generated from electroencephalography, electrooculography, and electromyography data and then passed to the neural network. A holdout set of 580 PSGs not included in the training set was used to assess model accuracy and discrimination via weighted F1-score, per-stage accuracy, and Cohen’s kappa (K). Results The optimal neural network model was composed of spectrograms in the input layer feeding into convolutional neural network layers and a long short-term memory layer to achieve a weighted F1-score of 0.87 and K = 0.82. Conclusions The deep learning sleep stage classifier demonstrates excellent accuracy and agreement with expert sleep stage scoring, outperforming human agreement on sleep staging. It achieves comparable or better F1-scores, accuracy, and Cohen’s kappa compared to literature for automated sleep stage scoring of PSG epochs. Accurate automated scoring of other PSG events may eventually allow for fully automated PSG scoring.
