Domain-adaptive TSK fuzzy system based on multisource data fusion for epileptic EEG signal classification

In recent years, machine learning methods based on epileptic signals have shown good results with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). With the continuous expansion of their applications, the demand for labeled epileptic signals is increasing. For a large number of data-driven models, such signals are not suitable, as they extend the calibration cycle. Therefore, a new domain-adaptive TSK fuzzy system model based on multisource data fusion (DA-TSK) is proposed. The purpose of DA-TSK is to maintain high classification performance when the amount of labeled data is insufficient. The DA-TSK model not only has a strong learning ability to learn characteristic information from EEG data but is also interpretable, which aids in the understanding of the analytic process of the model for medical purposes. In particular, this model can make full use of a small amount of labeled EEG data in the source domain and target domain through domain adaptation. Therefore, the DA-TSK model can reduce data dependence to a certain extent and improve the generalization performance of the target classifier. Experiments are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the DA-TSK model on public EEG datasets based on epileptic signals. The DA-TSK model can obtain satisfactory accuracy when the labeled data are insufficient in the target domain.
