Cross-User Electromyography Pattern Recognition Based on a Novel Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network by Mengjuan Xu, Xiang Chen, Yuwen Ruan, Xu Zhang

“…The ablation experiments show that each functional module of the proposed CNN-MSTGCN network has played a more or less positive role in improving the performance of EMG pattern recognition. The user-independent recognition experiments and the transfer learning-based cross-user recognition experiments verify the advantages of the proposed CNN-MSTGCN network in improving recognition rate and reducing user training burden. …”
