Automatic electroencephalogram (EEG) emotion recognition is a challenging component of human–computer interaction (HCI). Inspired by the powerful feature learning ability of recently-emerged deep learning techniques, various advanced deep learning models have been employed increasingly to learn high-level feature representations for EEG emotion recognition. This paper aims to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of EEG emotion recognition, especially for various deep learning techniques in this area. We provide the preliminaries and basic knowledge in the literature. We review EEG emotion recognition benchmark data sets briefly. We review deep learning techniques in details, including deep belief networks, convolutional neural networks, and recurrent neural networks. We describe the state-of-the-art applications of deep learning techniques for EEG emotion recognition in detail. We analyze the challenges and opportunities in this field and point out its future directions.

Visible image quality is very susceptible to changes in illumination, and there are limitations in ship classification using images acquired by a single sensor. This study proposes a ship classification method based on an attention mechanism and multi-scale convolutional neural network (MSCNN) for visible and infrared images. First, the features of visible and infrared images are extracted by a two-stream symmetric multi-scale convolutional neural network module, and then concatenated to make full use of the complementary features present in multi-modal images. After that, the attention mechanism is applied to the concatenated fusion features to emphasize local details areas in the feature map, aiming to further improve feature representation capability of the model. Lastly, attention weights and the original concatenated fusion features are added element by element and fed into fully connected layers and Softmax output layer for final classification output. Effectiveness of the proposed method is verified on a visible and infrared spectra (VAIS) dataset, which shows 93.81% accuracy in classification results. Compared with other state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method could extract features more effectively and has better overall classification performance.
