sleep2vec：异质夜间生理信号的统一跨模态对齐
ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Tasks ranging from sleep staging to clinical diagnosis traditionally rely on standard polysomnography (PSG) devices, bedside monitors and wearable devices, which capture diverse nocturnal biosignals (e.g., EEG, EOG, ECG, SpO$_2$). However, heterogeneity across devices and frequent sensor dropout pose significant challenges for unified modelling of these multimodal signals. We present sleep2vec, a foundation model for diverse and incomplete nocturnal biosignals that learns a shared representation via cross-modal alignment. sleep2vec is contrastively pre-trained on 42,249 overnight recordings spanning nine modalities using a Demography, Age, Site & History-aware InfoNCE objective that incorporates physiological and acquisition metadata (e.g., age, gender, recording site) to dynamically weight negatives and mitigate cohort-specific shortcuts.
