The study compares temporal deep learning models—Bidirectional LSTM, Temporal Convolutional Network, and Transformer—for physiological emotion recognition using two multimodal wearable datasets, WESAD and EmoWear. Experiments evaluate wrist-only, chest-only, and multimodal sensor configurations with participant-independent leave-one-subject-out cross-validation, and also explore ensembles, sensor ablation, sampling frequency, and saliency analysis. Results show that the best architecture varies by dataset, multimodal sensing consistently outperforms single-site configurations, and a 4 Hz sampling rate offers a cost-effective operating point.

arXiv:2608. 06122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inspired by recent evidence that transformer architectures benefit from Self-PreTraining (SPT) on long-context benchmarks, we investigate whether similar gains extend to multimodal, multivariate, and even simple univariate medical time series.

The paper evaluates deep learning models for electrocardiogram‑based emotion recognition, focusing on generalization across datasets rather than dataset‑specific performance. It introduces two open‑source tools—ARRC for standardized benchmarking and ARDT for inter‑dataset training—to merge three public AER datasets (CUADS, ASCERTAIN, DREAMER) into a more variable benchmark. Using these tools, the authors compare three prominent deep learning architectures and two CNN baselines with hyperparameter tuning and 10‑fold cross‑validation, revealing trade‑offs between accuracy and model complexity and providing a reproducible benchmark for future research.

BioSync is a transformer-based model that fuses cardiac, neural, behavioral, and speech data from wearables and mobile devices into a continuous composite digital biomarker called the BioSync Index (BSI). The architecture uses multi-head self-attention on modality tokens and a linear branch for feature concatenation, inspired by latent-variable measurement theory. Evaluations on synthetic cohorts for cognitive decline and metabolic-autonomic conditions show BioSync achieving AUCs of 0.928 and 0.764 accuracy/F1 of 0.766, outperforming simple concatenation and other fusion strategies in most corruption scenarios.
