SleepPairNet: Learning Multimodal Pediatric Sleep Representations with Random-Pair Cross-Attention

We introduce SleepPairNet, a multimodal self-supervised learning (SSL) framework that learns pairwise interactions between physiological signals through cross-attention.

Key points

  • Analyzing physiological sleep signals is important for assessing sleep quality and detecting sleep-related disorders.
  • Learning inter-modal relationships across physiological signals can provide richer representations for downstream sleep analysis.
  • We propose a random modality-pair selection strategy that exposes the model to diverse signal pairs during pretraining, enabling flexibility across modality combinations at test time.
  • Pretrained on the NCH dataset, SleepPairNet outperforms the evaluated SSL baselines on all respiratory tasks while remaining competitive on EEG-related tasks, and shows even stronger results when transferred to the external CHAT dataset.
