From Stress to Affect: Multimodal Deep Learning for Physiological Emotion Recognition Across Wearable Sensor Modalities

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.

Bridging the Gap in ECG-Based Emotion Recognition: A Unified Evaluation of Deep Learning Models

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: Transformer-Based Cross-Modal Fusion for a Multimodal Physiological Digital Biomarker

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.

State-Specific Respiratory Signatures for Affective and Stress Recognition: Interpretable Respiratory Markers, Autocorrelation Lags, and Compact CNN Models

arXiv:2606. 26723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Respiratory activity is a direct and interpretable physiological channel for wearable stress and affective-state recognition, yet many studies emphasize classification accuracy without identifying which respiratory properties separate different states.
