Abstract
The study focuses on automatic sleep spindle detection. Plenty of methods have been proposed in previous decades. However, there is still space for improvement. In this study, we investigate aggregation methods such as voting to achieve better results. We employ an unweighted model and two weighted voting models in which assigned weights represent reliability of automatic detectors. First weighted model utilizes supervised approach based on logistic regression. The second one applies unsupervised generative Bayesian model often used in crowdsourcing. Using the expectation maximization algorithm, we uncover hidden true labels and weighs of detectors. We test methods on the real world datasets. The aggregation method overcome single detectors on 10% on average in terms of F1. Moreover, a probabilistic explanation of weights could be used in applications for visual analysis.
