Artifact Annotations Partially Substitute for Per-User Calibration: SAFE-EDA and a Normalization-Controlled Evaluation of Wrist-EDA Affect Recognition
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →The study investigates how the source of normalization statistics affects the performance of wrist electrodermal activity (EDA) affect‑recognition models. Using the SAFE‑EDA convolutional network pretrained on expert artifact annotations, the authors compare models trained with normalization derived only from training subjects versus from the held‑out subject’s full recording. They find that pretraining improves macro‑F1 when using training‑only statistics, but the benefit diminishes when using the held‑out subject’s data, and that artifact supervision outperforms self‑supervised pretraining. Across multiple configurations, pretrained models generally perform better, though the interaction with per‑user normalization varies by dataset.
