Abstract
Epilepsy is a multifaceted neurological disorder characterized by superfluous and recurrent seizure activity. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are indispensable tools for epilepsy diagnosis that reflect real-time insights of brain activity. Recently, epilepsy researchers have increasingly utilized Deep Learning (DL) architectures for early and timely diagnosis. This research focuses on resolving the challenges, such as data diversity, scarcity, limited labels, and privacy, by proposing potential contributions for epilepsy detection, prediction, and forecasting tasks without impacting the accuracy of the outcome. The proposed design of diversity-enhanced data augmentation initially averts data scarcity and inter-patient variability constraints for multiclass epilepsy detection. The potential features are extracted using a graph theory-based approach by analyzing the inherently dynamic characteristics of augmented EEG data. It utilizes a novel temporal weight fluctuation method to recognize the drastic temporal fluctuations and data patterns realized in EEG signals. Designing the Siamese neural network-based few-shot learning strategy offers a robust framework for multiclass epilepsy detection.
