Scalable Gamma-Driven Multilayer Network for Brain Workload Detection Through Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.

This work proposes a scalable gamma non-negative matrix network (SGNMN), which uses a Poisson randomized Gamma factor analysis to obtain the neurons of the first layer of a network. These neurons obey Gamma distribution whose shape parameter infers the neurons of the next layer of the network and their related weights. Upsampling the connection weights follows a Dirichlet distribution. Downsampling hidden units obey Gamma distribution. This work performs up-down sampling on each layer to learn the parameters of SGNMN. Experimental results indicate that the width and depth of SGNMN are closely related, and a reasonable network structure for accurately detecting brain fatigue through functional near-infrared spectroscopy can be obtained by considering network width, depth, and parameters.
