Abstract: In this study, we proposed a transformer based end-to-end solution to capture the relationship between the physiological signals and affective changes. We first convert the physiological signal emotion recognition prediction task to a sequence-to-sequence multivariate time series prediction task. We utilize the state-of-the-art (SOTA) self-attention mechanism to decompose the physiological signals into separate frequency domain and time domain representations, and capture the channel dependencies via Two-Stage Attention (TSA). Meanwhile, we implement the multitask learning framework to better predict the valence and arousal affective states individually. We evaluate our system on the Continuously Annotated Signals of Emotion (CASE) dataset used in the Emotion Physiology and Experience Collaboration (EPiC) challenge, and our proposed system outperform all the challenge participants in all four test scenarios.
