Visual-to-EEG cross-modal knowledge distillation for continuous emotion recognition

作者:

Highlights:

• By taking the above visual and EEG models as the teacher and student, we develop a cross-modal knowledge distillation method to improve the EEG-based continuous emotion recognition using visual knowledge.

• The standalone version of teacher and student without knowledge distillation can outperform baseline.

• The student model taught by the labels and the visual knowledge produces results with statistical significance against its counterpart without knowledge distillation.

• To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first work on visual-to-EEG cross-modal knowledge distillation for continuous emotion recognition.

• The code is to be publicly available.
