Artifact Annotations Partially Substitute for Per-User Calibration: SAFE-EDA and a Normalization-Controlled Evaluation of Wrist-EDA Affect Recognition

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.01692v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Wrist electrodermal activity (EDA) differs in amplitude from one person to the next, so affect-recognition models normalize their input before classification. Studies that test such models on held-out subjects seldom report where the normalization statistics come from, yet statistics computed from the held-out subject's own recording give the model information that a device does not have when it is first worn. We asked how this choice alters the me
