Electroencephalography (EEG) is an objective tool for emotion recognition and shows promising performance. However, the label scarcity problem is a main challenge in this field, which limits the wide application of EEG-based emotion recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised learning framework (EEGMatch) to leverage both labeled and unlabeled EEG data. First, an EEG-Mixup based data augmentation method is developed to generate more valid samples for model learning. Second, a semi-supervised two-step pairwise learning method is proposed to bridge prototype-wise and instance-wise pairwise learning, where the prototype-wise pairwise learning measures the global relationship between EEG data and the prototypical representation of each emotion class and the instance-wise pairwise learning captures the local intrinsic relationship among EEG data. Third, a semi-supervised multi-domain adaptation is introduced to align the data representation among multiple domains (labeled source domain, unlabeled source domain, and target domain), where the distribution mismatch is alleviated. Extensive experiments are conducted on two benchmark databases (SEED and SEED-IV) under a cross-subject leave-one-subject-out cross-validation evaluation protocol. The results show the proposed EEGmatch performs better than the state-of-the-art methods under different incomplete label conditions (with 6.89% improvement on SEED and 1.44% improvement on SEED-IV), which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed EEGMatch in dealing with the label scarcity problem in emotion recognition using EEG signals.
