Title: Rethinking Random Transformers as Adaptive Sequence Smoothers for Sleep Staging
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.09905v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic sleep staging commonly adopts Transformers under the assumption that they learn complex long-range dependencies. We challenge this view by revealing a neglected property of sleep sequences: strong local temporal continuity. We show that a randomly initialized Transformer, without any training, substantially improves sleep staging performance and consistently outperforms heuristic smoothing. We formalize this effect via a Random Attentio
