In recent years, deep learning (DL) models have shown outstanding performance in EEG classification tasks, particularly in Steady-State Visually Evoked Potential(SSVEP)-based Brain-Computer-Interfaces(BCI)systems. DL methods have been successfully applied to SSVEP-BCI. This study proposes a new model called IncepFormerNet, which is a hybrid of the Inception and Transformer architectures. IncepFormerNet adeptly extracts multi-scale temporal information from time series data using parallel convolution kernels of varying sizes, accurately capturing the subtle variations and critical features within SSVEP signals.Furthermore, the model integrates the multi-head attention mechanism from the Transformer architecture, which not only provides insights into global dependencies but also significantly enhances the understanding and representation of complex patterns.Additionally, it takes advantage of filter bank techniques to extract features based on the spectral characteristics of SSVEP data. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed model, we conducted experiments on two public datasets, . The experimental results show that IncepFormerNet achieves an accuracy of 87.41 on Dataset 1 and 71.97 on Dataset 2 using a 1.0-second time window. To further verify the superiority of the proposed model, we compared it with other deep learning models, and the results indicate that our method achieves significantly higher accuracy than the others.The source codes in this work are available at: https://github.com/CECNL/SSVEP-DAN.

The diversity of tables makes table detection a great challenge, leading to existing models becoming more tedious and complex. Despite achieving high performance, they often overfit to the table style in training set, and suffer from significant performance degradation when encountering out-of-distribution tables in other domains. To tackle this problem, we start from the essence of the table, which is a set of text arranged in rows and columns. Based on this, we propose a novel, light-weighted and robust Table Detection method based on Learning Text Arrangement, namely TDeLTA. TDeLTA takes the text blocks as input, and then models the arrangement of them with a sequential encoder and an attention module. To locate the tables precisely, we design a text-classification task, classifying the text blocks into 4 categories according to their semantic roles in the tables. Experiments are conducted on both the text blocks parsed from PDF and extracted by open-source OCR tools, respectively. Compared to several state-of-the-art methods, TDeLTA achieves competitive results with only 3.1M model parameters on the large-scale public datasets. Moreover, when faced with the cross-domain data under the 0-shot setting, TDeLTA outperforms baselines by a large margin of nearly 7%, which shows the strong robustness and transferability of the proposed model.
