The goal of partial multi-label learning is to train a noise-robust classifier that can accurately assign labels to unknown instances, even when the candidate label set is only partially valid. Currently, most existing approaches rely on the label correlation assumption: the correlations between label categories maintain consistency across different datasets. However, the presence of noise makes the obtained prior label correlation unreliable. To tackle this problem, a novel partial multi-label learning approach with fuzzy weakly supervised label correlation refinement is proposed. First, a fuzzy framework is established to learn fuzzy label membership through clustering analysis, which can be viewed as fuzzy weakly supervised label information since it measures the distances between instances and class prototypes. This research first proposes to replace the prior label correlation with fuzzy label correlation measured by fuzzy label membership while preserving certain global structures of the original label space. By encouraging consisten mapping of sample manifolds in label confidence, this new label correlation, together with sample similarity, is jointly employed to learn more precise label confidence. Finally, the learned label confidence is exploited to train a kernelized linear classifier for unlabeled samples. This proposed method is solved by using an effective iterative optimization algorithm. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed model exhibits superior performance compared with other advanced partial multi-label learning methods.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) -based emotion recognition is an essential intelligent technique for health assessment and clinical intervention. However, EEG signals exhibit complex and complementary non-linear correlations across spatio-temporal-frequency domains, posing significant challenges to effective feature modeling and downstream emotion recognition performance. To address these challenges, an Emotional Spatio-Temporal-Spectral Cross-attention Network (ESTSCA-Net) is proposed. The proposed model adopts a dual-branch feature fusion architecture: in the spatio-temporal branch, a multi-scale 2D convolutional network is designed to sequentially process spatio-temporal information, adaptively capturing the contextual dependencies of neural activities; in the spatio-spectral branch, a 3D bottleneck residual network with channel-wise and cross-frequency attention mechanisms is developed to selectively encode critical spatio-spectral neural oscillations. Furthermore, a bidirectional multi-head cross-attention interaction strategy is introduced to achieve deep fusion of spatio-temporal-spectral features, forming an effective emotion representation classifier. Experimental results on the public DEAP and MEEG datasets demonstrate that ESTSCA-Net can comprehensively extract spatio-temporal-spectral EEG features across different emotional states and consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baseline models in both arousal and valence metrics.

Multipath signal recognition is crucial to the ability to provide high-precision absolute-position services by the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). However, most existing approaches to this issue involve supervised machine learning (ML) methods, and it is difficult to move to unsupervised multipath signal recognition because of the limitations in signal labeling. Inspired by an autoencoder with powerful unsupervised feature extraction, we propose a new deep learning (DL) model for BDS signal recognition that places a long short-term memory (LSTM) module in series with a convolutional sparse autoencoder to create a new autoencoder structure. First, we propose to capture the temporal correlations in long-duration BeiDou satellite time-series signals by using the LSTM module to mine the temporal change patterns in the time series. Second, we develop a convolutional sparse autoencoder method that learns a compressed representation of the input data, which then enables downscaled and unsupervised feature extraction from long-duration BeiDou satellite series signals. Finally, we add an l1/2 regularizer to the objective function of our DL model to remove redundant neurons from the neural network while ensuring recognition accuracy. We tested our proposed approach on a real urban canyon dataset, and the results demonstrated that our algorithm could achieve better classification performance than two ML-based methods (e.g., 11% better than a support vector machine) and two existing DL-based methods (e.g., 7.26% better than convolutional neural networks).
