LiteEMG-FM: An Efficient and Deployable Foundation Model for Robust EMG Sensing

LiteEMG-FM is an efficient hybrid CNN‑Transformer foundation model designed for electromyography (EMG) sensing. It is pretrained on 16 diverse upper‑ and lower‑limb EMG datasets, enabling representations that generalize across users and datasets. The model incorporates a lightweight, always‑on 1D‑CNN wake‑up module that filters rest and non‑target activity, activating LiteEMG‑FM only for valid gestures, and is evaluated in full inference offloading, split inference, and full on‑device processing scenarios, showing superior performance over state‑of‑the‑art time‑series foundation models and supervised baselines, especially in zero‑calibration cross‑participant and data‑scarce conditions.

NanoSleep: A Parameter-Efficient Hybrid Temporal Convolutional Network for Single-Channel Sleep Stage Classification

NanoSleep is a compact hybrid temporal convolutional network designed for single‑channel EEG sleep stage classification. It integrates a learnable Sinc‑convolutional front end, dual‑branch feature extraction for multi‑scale temporal and spectral representations, a gated dilated temporal convolutional backbone with channel recalibration, and a conditional random field for sequence‑level decoding. Evaluated on Sleep‑EDF and Sleep‑EDF‑Expanded datasets, NanoSleep consistently outperforms six baseline methods and demonstrates that each major component contributes to its performance.

BRIDGE-EEG: Bridging Self-Supervised Pretraining and Efficient Deployment for Cross-Dataset EEG Classification

BRIDGE-EEG is an efficient multi‑task EEG classification pipeline that leverages self‑supervised pretraining while dramatically reducing model size. It maps heterogeneous EEG recordings to a unified 62‑channel time‑frequency representation, pretrains an SE‑ResNet18 teacher with SimCLR, and distills it into smaller SE‑ResNet8 and SE‑ResNet4 students. The compact models achieve accuracy comparable to or better than larger foundation models on abnormality detection and emotion recognition, and they consume up to three times less energy on edge devices, enabling deployment on wearable hardware.

On-Device Inference versus Wireless Streaming: Energy-Efficient Multi-Modal Deep Learning for Wearable Cardiovascular Patches

arXiv:2510. 18668v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Wearable cardiovascular sensor patches promise continuous, unobtrusive monitoring, but their tight energy, memory, and compute budgets make it unclear whether physiological signals should be analyzed on the device or streamed to the cloud for processing.
