Deep Clustering for Epileptic Seizure Detection

Résumé fourni par la source

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures, which are often unpredictable and increase mortality and morbidity risks. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to address the challenges of EEG-based epileptic seizure detection by introducing a novel methodology, Deep Embedded Gaussian Mixture (DEGM). METHODS: The DEGM method begins with a deep autoencoder (DAE) for embedding the input EEG data, followed by Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to enhance the representational quality of the embedding while achieving dimensionality reduction. A Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is then employed for clustering purposes. Unlike conventional supervised machine learning and deep learning techniques, DEGM leverages deep clustering (DC) algorithms for more effective seizure detection. RESULTS: Empirical results from two real-world epileptic datasets demonstrate the notable performance of DEGM. The method's effectiveness is particularly remarkable given the substantial size of the datasets, showcasing its ability to handle large-scale EEG data efficiently. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the DEGM methodology provides a novel and effective approach for EEG-based epileptic seizure detection, addressing key challenges such as data variability and artifact contamination. SIGNIFICANCE: By combining deep autoencoders, SVD, and GMM, DEGM achieves superior clustering performance compared to existing methods, representing a significant advancement in biomedical research and clinical applications for epilepsy. Its robust performance on large datasets underscores its potential for improving seizure detection accuracy, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes.
