arXiv:2608. 12695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-supervised electrocardiogram (ECG) models are often trained on a few seconds of ECG signal and, increasingly, on discretized token sequences.

TransECG-SSL is a self‑supervised framework that learns transferable heartbeat representations from unlabelled ECG data using a Transformer encoder pretrained with a hybrid objective of masked signal reconstruction and contrastive learning. The pretrained model is frozen and evaluated via linear probing on patient‑disjoint splits across three public ECG databases, showing that Hybrid SSL outperforms randomly initialized Transformers and source‑supervised pretraining. While cross‑dataset transfer improves performance over random baselines, it still falls short of target‑specific self‑supervised pretraining, and minority arrhythmia classes remain difficult under severe class imbalance.
arXiv:2607. 23412v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are widely used for cardiovascular risk prediction, yet models often fail to transfer across hospitals because of protocol, population, and measurement differences.
ECGWmark is a fully convolutional, quantization‑free deep watermarking framework designed for electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. It embeds patient metadata into ECGs while preserving high‑frequency diagnostic details by operating in a continuous latent space and using a localized frame‑level mechanism to resist severe temporal desynchronization. A differentiable Physiological Loss guided by a clinical classifier helps maintain diagnostic semantics, achieving over 90% channel‑bit extraction accuracy under circular phase shifts and demonstrating mixed effects on class‑level diagnostic metrics in the MIT‑BIH benchmark.

The study investigates ECG biometrics by training a Siamese ResNet with late multi-lead fusion on a large dataset from cardiopulmonary exercise tests. It evaluates the model under realistic conditions, including exercise-induced stress and cross-session variability, achieving an intra-session rest-to-peak EER of 1.7% and a state‑of‑the‑art 3.9% on the CYBHi dataset. The results demonstrate that an intrinsic cardiac signature remains robust to physiological and temporal drift.
Continuous cardiac monitoring outside clinical settings requires signals that are both informative and practical to collect during daily life. Electrocardiography (ECG) provides rich information about...
BEAT-Net is a supervised biomimetic framework for ECG diagnosis that incorporates QRS-centered tokenization and a hierarchical architecture mirroring a cardiologist’s workflow. It processes heartbeat sequences through morphological, spatial, temporal, and transformer-based stages, achieving an AUC of 0.924 on large benchmarks while using only 0.7 million parameters. The model outperforms the 39.5‑million‑parameter HeartLang foundation model on morphological form classification and demonstrates superior cross‑dataset generalization with only 35% of the training data.
arXiv:2606. 08037v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electrocardiogram (ECG) classification models often suffer from severe label scarcity, making semi-supervised learning (SSL) an attractive strategy for reducing annotation costs.
