• Authors: Hye-Bin Shin, Kang Yin, Seong-Whan Lee
• Abstract summary: We introduce a sparse multitask learning framework for motor imagery (MI) and motor execution (ME) tasks. Given a dual-task CNN model for MI-ME classification, we apply a saliency-based sparsification approach to prune superfluous connections. Our results indicate that this tailored sparsity can mitigate the overfitting problem and improve the test performance with small amount of data.

• Abstract: In the quest for efficient neural network models for neural data interpretation and user intent classification in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), learning meaningful sparse representations of the underlying neural subspaces is crucial. The present study introduces a sparse multitask learning framework for motor imagery (MI) and motor execution (ME) tasks, inspired by the natural partitioning of associated neural subspaces observed in the human brain. Given a dual-task CNN model for MI-ME classification, we apply a saliency-based sparsification approach to prune superfluous connections and reinforce those that show high importance in both tasks. Through our approach, we seek to elucidate the distinct and common neural ensembles associated with each task, employing principled sparsification techniques to eliminate redundant connections and boost the fidelity of neural signal decoding. Our results indicate that this tailored sparsity can mitigate the overfitting problem and improve the test performance with small amount of data, suggesting a viable path forward for computationally efficient and robust BCI systems.

  A potential solution to this issue is Neuro-Symbolic Integration (NeSy), where neural approaches are combined with symbolic reasoning. Most of these methods exploit a neural network to map perceptions to symbols and a logical reasoner to predict the output of the downstream task. They suffer from several issues, including slow convergence, learning difficulties with complex perception tasks, and convergence to local minima. This paper proposes a simple yet effective method to ameliorate these problems.
