Abstract

A method of subject-adaptive, real-time sleep stage classification to classify electroencephalogram sleep recordings into sleep stages to determine whether a subject exhibits a sleep disorder includes performing subject adaptation to improve classification accuracy for a new subject with limited training data, the performing subject adaptation comprises using linear-chain conditional random fields and potential functions, training the linear-chain conditional random fields using the training data, continuously receiving the electroencephalogram waves, continuously extracting features from the electroencephalogram waves, the extracting features comprising transforming each of the electroencephalogram waves to capture information embedded in the electroencephalogram waves, and continuously classifying the sleep stages according to extracted features and learned parameters from the linear-chain conditional random fields.
