Electroencephalogram (EEG) is often used in clinical epilepsy treatment to monitor electrical signal changes in the brain of patients with epilepsy. With the development of signal processing and artificial intelligence technology, artificial intelligence classification method plays an important role in the automatic recognition of epilepsy EEG signals. However, traditional classifiers are easily affected by impurities and noise in epileptic EEG signals. To solve this problem, this paper develops a noise robustness low-rank learning (NRLRL) algorithm for EEG signal classification. NRLRL establishes a low-rank subspace to connect the original data space and label space. Making full use of supervision information, it considers the local information preservation of samples to ensure the low-rank representation of within-class compactness and between-classes dispersion. The asymmetric least squares support vector machine (aLS-SVM) is embedded into the objective function of NRLRL. The aLS-SVM finds the maximum quantile distance between the two classes of samples based on the pinball loss function, which further improves the noise robustness of the model. Several classification experiments with different noise intensity are designed on the Bonn data set, and the experiment results verify the effectiveness of the NRLRL algorithm.
