AttentionBaseNet from Wimpff M et al. (2023) [Martin2023].

Neural Network from the paper: EEG motor imagery decoding: A framework for comparative analysis with channel attention mechanisms

The paper and original code with more details about the methodological choices are available at the [Martin2023] and [MartinCode].

The AttentionBaseNet architecture is composed of four modules: - Input Block that performs a temporal convolution and a spatial convolution. - Channel Expansion that modifies the number of channels. - An attention block that performs channel attention with several options - ClassificationHead

Added in version 0.9.

Parameters:

  • n_times (int) – Number of time samples of the input window.

  • n_chans (int) – Number of EEG channels.

  • n_outputs (int) – Number of outputs of the model. This is the number of classes in the case of classification.

  • chs_info (list of dict) – Information about each individual EEG channel. This should be filled with info["chs"]. Refer to mne.Info for more details.

  • sfreq (float) – Sampling frequency of the EEG recordings.

  • input_window_seconds (float) – Length of the input window in seconds.

  • n_temporal_filters (int, optional) – Number of temporal convolutional filters in the first layer. This defines the number of output channels after the temporal convolution. Default is 40.

  • temp_filter_length_inp – The description is missing.

  • spatial_expansion (int, optional) – Multiplicative factor to expand the spatial dimensions. Used to increase the capacity of the model by expanding spatial features. Default is 1.

  • pool_length_inp (int, optional) – Length of the pooling window in the input layer. Determines how much temporal information is aggregated during pooling. Default is 75.

  • pool_stride_inp (int, optional) – Stride of the pooling operation in the input layer. Controls the downsampling factor in the temporal dimension. Default is 15.

  • dropout_inp (float, optional) – Dropout rate applied after the input layer. This is the probability of zeroing out elements during training to prevent overfitting. Default is 0.5.

  • ch_dim (int, optional) – Number of channels in the subsequent convolutional layers. This controls the depth of the network after the initial layer. Default is 16.

  • temp_filter_length (int, default=15) – The length of the temporal filters in the convolutional layers.

  • pool_length (int, default=8) – The length of the window for the average pooling operation.

  • pool_stride (int, default=8) – The stride of the average pooling operation.

  • dropout (float, default=0.5) – The dropout rate for regularization. Values should be between 0 and 1.

  • attention_mode (str, optional) – The type of attention mechanism to apply. If None, no attention is applied. - “se” for Squeeze-and-excitation network - “gsop” for Global Second-Order Pooling - “fca” for Frequency Channel Attention Network - “encnet” for context encoding module - “eca” for Efficient channel attention for deep convolutional neural networks - “ge” for Gather-Excite - “gct” for Gated Channel Transformation - “srm” for Style-based Recalibration Module - “cbam” for Convolutional Block Attention Module - “cat” for Learning to collaborate channel and temporal attention from multi-information fusion - “catlite” for Learning to collaborate channel attention from multi-information fusion (lite version, cat w/o temporal attention)

  • reduction_rate (int, default=4) – The reduction rate used in the attention mechanism to reduce dimensionality and computational complexity.

  • use_mlp (bool, default=False) – Flag to indicate whether an MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron) should be used within the attention mechanism for further processing.

  • freq_idx (int, default=0) – DCT index used in fca attention mechanism.

  • n_codewords (int, default=4) – The number of codewords (clusters) used in attention mechanisms that employ quantization or clustering strategies.

  • kernel_size (int, default=9) – The kernel size used in certain types of attention mechanisms for convolution operations.

  • activation (nn.Module, default=nn.ELU) – Activation function class to apply. Should be a PyTorch activation module class like nn.ReLU or nn.ELU. Default is nn.ELU.

  • extra_params (bool, default=False) – Flag to indicate whether additional, custom parameters should be passed to the attention mechanism.

Raises:

  • ValueError – If some input signal-related parameters are not specified: and can not be inferred.

  • FutureWarning – If add_log_softmax is True, since LogSoftmax final layer: will be removed in the future.

Notes

If some input signal-related parameters are not specified, there will be an attempt to infer them from the other parameters.

Methods

forward(x)[source]#

Define the computation performed at every call.

Should be overridden by all subclasses.

Note

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the registered hooks while the latter silently ignores them.

Parameters:

x – The description is missing.
