Biosignal Generation and Latent Variable Analysis with Recurrent Generative Adversarial Networks
The effectiveness of biosignal generation and data augmentation with
biosignal generative models based on generative adversarial networks (GANs),
which are a type of deep learning technique, was demonstrated in our previous
paper. GAN-based generative models only learn the projection between a random
distribution as input data and the distribution of training data.Therefore, the
relationship between input and generated data is unclear, and the
characteristics of the data generated from this model cannot be controlled.
This study proposes a method for generating time-series data based on GANs and
explores their ability to generate biosignals with certain classes and
characteristics. Moreover, in the proposed method, latent variables are
analyzed using canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to represent the
relationship between input and generated data as canonical loadings. Using
these loadings, we can control the characteristics of the data generated by the
proposed method. The influence of class labels on generated data is analyzed by
feeding the data interpolated between two class labels into the generator of
the proposed GANs. The CCA of the latent variables is shown to be an effective
method of controlling the generated data characteristics. We are able to model
the distribution of the time-series data without requiring domain-dependent
knowledge using the proposed method. Furthermore, it is possible to control the
characteristics of these data by analyzing the model trained using the proposed
method. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to generate
biosignals using GANs while controlling the characteristics of the generated
data
