Motor Imagery EEG Recognition using Deep Generative Adversarial Network with EMD for BCI Applications

The activities for motor imagery (MI) movements in Electroencephalography (EEG) are still interesting and challenging. BCI (Brain Computer Interface) allows the brain signals to control the external devices and also helps a disabled person suffering from neuromuscular disorders. In any BCI system, the two most essential steps are feature extraction and classification method. However, in this paper, the MI classification is improved by the performance of Deep Learning (DL) concept. In this proposed system two-moment imagination of right hand and right foot from the BCI competition three datasets IVA has been taken and classification methods utilizing Conventional neural network (CNN) and Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) are developed. The training time is reduced and non-stationary problem is managed by applying Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and mixing their intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in feature extraction technique. The experimental result indicates the proposed GAN classification technique achieves better classification accuracy in terms of 95.29% than the CNN of 89.38%. The proposed GAN method achieves an average positive rate of 62% and average false positive rate of 3.4% on BCI competition three datasets IVA whose EEG facts were resulting from the similar C3, C4, and Cz channels of the motor cortex

Reduced Precision Strategies for Deep Learning: A High Energy Physics Generative Adversarial Network Use Case

Deep learning is finding its way into high energy physics by replacing traditional Monte Carlo simulations. However, deep learning still requires an excessive amount of computational resources. A promising approach to make deep learning more efficient is to quantize the parameters of the neural networks to reduced precision. Reduced precision computing is extensively used in modern deep learning and results to lower execution inference time, smaller memory footprint and less memory bandwidth. In this paper we analyse the effects of low precision inference on a complex deep generative adversarial network model. The use case which we are addressing is calorimeter detector simulations of subatomic particle interactions in accelerator based high energy physics. We employ the novel Intel low precision optimization tool (iLoT) for quantization and compare the results to the quantized model from TensorFlow Lite. In the performance benchmark we gain a speed-up of 1.73x on Intel hardware for the quantized iLoT model compared to the initial, not quantized, model. With different physics-inspired self-developed metrics, we validate that the quantized iLoT model shows a lower loss of physical accuracy in comparison to the TensorFlow Lite model.Comment: Submitted at ICPRAM 2021; from CERN openlab - Intel collaboratio
