LDAC-Net: A Learnable Multi-Lag Differencing Attention-Convolution Network for Drift-Robust Recognition with Low-Cost MOX Gas Sensors

Portable electronic-nose systems based on low-cost metal-oxide (MOX) gas sensors offer a practical solution for gas and odour recognition, but their signals are affected by slow chemical transients, drifting sensor offsets, scale variation, and cross-channel correlations. Existing pipelines commonly use fixed first-order temporal differencing (FOTD), which requires a manually selected lag and may discard useful response information. We propose LDAC-Net, an end-to-end learnable multi-lag differencing attention-convolution network that operates directly on multi-channel MOX signals. Its learnable differential feature enhancement front-end combines window-conditioned statistical affine normalisation, which compensates for window-specific offset and scale variation, with learnable multi-lag differencing, which weights and combines temporal differences across multiple lags. A compact attention-convolution backbone subsequently models local transients and longer-range temporal dependencies. On the 50-class SmellNet-Base task, LDAC-Net achieves 68.2% top-1 accuracy, exceeding the best FOTD-preprocessed comparison model by approximately 14 percentage points and the raw-input Transformer by more than 30 points. Ablation studies confirm the contributions of both proposed components. The representation also transfers to SmellNet-Mixtures, improving accuracy from 45.4% to 50.5%, and generalises to the 62-channel eNose-Drift benchmark under strong long-term drift, achieving 70.6% top-1 accuracy and 69.6% macro-F1. These results outperform the best comparison model with dataset-retuned FOTD preprocessing by 8.0 and 3.0 points, respectively, demonstrating that learnable, sensor-aware preprocessing is more effective than fixed handcrafted differencing for low-cost MOX gas-sensor recognition.
