arXiv:2507. 12645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing need for accurate and unified analysis of diverse biological signals, such as ECG and EEG, is paramount for comprehensive patient assessment, especially in synchronous monitoring.
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.
arXiv:2608. 03597v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with increased risks of stroke, heart failure, and mortality.
NeuroECG is a deep learning framework that repurposes a pretrained ECG foundation model to predict neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest without using electroencephalography (EEG). The model fine‑tunes the backbone with a gradual unfreezing strategy on single‑channel bedside ECG, aggregates multiple ECG segments via quantile pooling and PCA, and achieves an AUROC of 0.7333 using ECG alone. When combined with static clinical covariates, NeuroECG improves performance to an AUROC of 0.8077 and an AUPRC of 0.8970, demonstrating that bedside ECG can serve as a low‑cost, auxiliary prognostic tool in an EEG‑free setting.

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.
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.
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.
The paper evaluates deep learning models for electrocardiogram‑based emotion recognition, focusing on generalization across datasets rather than dataset‑specific performance. It introduces two open‑source tools—ARRC for standardized benchmarking and ARDT for inter‑dataset training—to merge three public AER datasets (CUADS, ASCERTAIN, DREAMER) into a more variable benchmark. Using these tools, the authors compare three prominent deep learning architectures and two CNN baselines with hyperparameter tuning and 10‑fold cross‑validation, revealing trade‑offs between accuracy and model complexity and providing a reproducible benchmark for future research.

The paper presents a new labelled ICU dataset and benchmarks for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) from electrocardiograms (ECGs). It compares three AI approaches—feature‑based classifiers, deep learning, and ECG foundation models—across Canadian ICU data and the 2021 PhysioNet challenge, finding that ECG foundation models with transfer learning achieve the highest F1 score (0.89). The study demonstrates the feasibility of automated AF monitoring in ICU settings and provides resources for further research.
The paper presents a hybrid CNN–state‑space–attention backbone designed for 12‑lead ECG classification, combining early waveform tokenization, mixed temporal dynamics modeling, and late global attention. It introduces an ECG‑oriented Joint‑Embedding Predictive Pretraining (JEPA) that samples span masks at latent resolution and predicts clean latent targets via a momentum encoder, avoiding waveform reconstruction. Experiments on CPSC2018, Chapman‑Shaoxing, and PTB‑XL, with pretraining on ~350K unlabeled CODE‑15 recordings, demonstrate strong supervised baselines and improved transfer, especially in low‑label scenarios and with LoRA adaptation.
