A new research paper explores the limitations of general self-supervised learning (SSL) representations when applied to subjective tasks like emotion detection using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. While these representations proved highly effective for objective tasks such as physical activity recognition, they failed to significantly outperform basic methods for real-life emotion detection under a leave-one-subject-out protocol. The study suggests that personalization, incorporating an individual's own data during fine-tuning, is crucial for accurate subjective affective inference, potentially outweighing the benefits of broad pretraining.
