Sleep Stage Classification (SSC) is a standard process in the Polysomnography (PSG) for studying sleep patterns and events. The SSC provides sleep stage information of a patient throughout an entire sleep test. A physician uses results from SSCs to diagnose sleep disorder symptoms. However, the SSC data processing is time-consuming and requires trained sleep technicians to complete the task. Over the years, researchers attempted to find alternative methods, which are known as Automatic Sleep Stage Classification (ASSC), to perform the task faster and more efficiently. Proposed ASSC techniques usually derived from existing statistical methods and machine learning (ML) techniques. The objective of this study is to develop a new hybrid ASSC technique, Multi-Layer Hybrid Machine Learning Model (MLHM), for classifying sleep stages. The MLHM blends two baseline ML techniques, Decision Tree (DT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). It operates on a newly developed multi-layer architecture. The multi-layer architecture consists of three layers for classifying [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] in different epoch lengths. Our experiment design compares MLHM and baseline ML techniques and other research works. The dataset used in this study was derived from the ISRUC-Sleep database comprising of 100 subjects. The classification performances were thoroughly reviewed using the hold-out and the 10-fold cross-validation method in both subject-specific and subject-independent classifications. The MLHM achieved a certain satisfactory classification results. It gained 0.694[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.22 of accuracy ([Formula: see text]) in subject-specific classification and 0.942[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.02 of accuracy ([Formula: see text]) in subject-independent classification. The pros and cons of the MLHM with the multi-layer architecture were thoroughly discussed. The effect of class imbalance was rationally discussed towards the classification results.

Manual classification of sleep stage is a time-consuming but necessary step in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, and its automation has been an area of active study. The previous works have shown that low dimensional fast Fourier transform (FFT) features and many machine learning algorithms have been applied. In this paper, we demonstrate utilization of features extracted from EEG signals via FFT to improve the performance of automated sleep stage classification through machine learning methods. Unlike previous works using FFT, we incorporated thousands of FFT features in order to classify the sleep stages into 2–6 classes. Using the expanded version of Sleep-EDF dataset with 61 recordings, our method outperformed other state-of-the art methods. This result indicates that high dimensional FFT features in combination with a simple feature selection is effective for the improvement of automated sleep stage classification.

Abstract Introduction Although polysomnography (PSG) remains the gold standard for sleep assessment in a lab setting, non-EEG signals such as respiration and motion are directly affected by sleep stages and can be used for sleep stage prediction. Importantly, these signals can be obtained in a low-cost and unobtrusive manner, allowing for large scale and longitudinal data collection in a home environment. The Circadia C100 System (FDA 510(k) clearance expected Q1 2020) is a novel ‘nearable’ device that uses radar for contactless monitoring of respiration and motion. The current study aims to validate the performance of the associated sleep analysis algorithm. Methods A total of 41 nights of sleep data were recorded from 33 healthy participants using the device, alongside PSG. Data were recorded both in a sleep lab and home environment. PSG data were scored by RPSGT-certified technicians. Respiration and movement features were extracted, and machine learning algorithms were developed to perform sleep stage classification and predict sleep metrics. Algorithms were trained and validated on PSG data using cross-validation. Results An epoch-by-epoch true positive rate of 56.2%, 79.4%, 55.5% and 72.6% was found for ‘Wake’, ‘REM’, ‘Light’ and ‘Deep’ respectively. No statistical differences in performance were found between home-recorded and lab-recorded contactless data. Mean absolute error of total sleep time (TST), wake after sleep onset (WASO), and sleep efficiency (SE) was 13.2 minutes, 11.3 minutes and 3%, respectively. The contactless monitor was found to outperform both medical grade and clinical grade actigraphy based devices: The Philips Actiwatch Spectrum Plus and the Fitbit Alta HR. Conclusion Current results are encouraging and suggest that the contactless monitor could be used for long-term sleep assessment and continuous evaluation of sleep therapy outcomes. Further clinical validation work is ongoing in subjects diagnosed with sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea. Support -

Sleep is a fundamental need of human body. In order to maintain health, sufficient sleep is must. Efficiency of sleep is based on sleep stages. Sleep stage classification is required to identify sleep disorders. Sleep stage classification identifies different stages of sleep. In this paper, we used Stochastic Gradient Descent(SGD) a machine learning algorithm for sleep stage classification. In feature extraction, Power Spectral Density(Welch method) is used. We acheived 89% overall accuracy using this model.

AbstractDeep neural networks can provide accurate automated classification of human sleep signals into sleep stages that enables more effective diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. We develop a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that attains state-of-the-art sleep stage classification performance on input data consisting of human sleep EEG and EOG signals. Nested cross-validation is used for optimal model selection and reliable estimation of out-of-sample classification performance. The resulting network attains a classification accuracy of $$84.50 \pm 0.13\%$$ 84.50 ± 0.13 % ; its performance exceeds human expert inter-scorer agreement, even on single-channel EEG input data, therefore providing more objective and consistent labeling than human experts demonstrate as a group. We focus on analyzing the learned internal data representations of our network, with the aim of understanding the development of class differentiation ability across the layers of processing units, as a function of layer depth. We approach this problem visually, using t-Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), and propose a pooling variant of Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA) that provides an objective quantitative measure of the development of sleep stage specialization and differentiation with layer depth. The results reveal a monotonic progression of both of these sleep stage modeling abilities as layer depth increases.

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.
