AF-Mamba: Efficient Long-Term Signal Modeling for Early Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation Onset

AF-Mamba is a deep learning model that predicts atrial fibrillation (AF) onset one hour in advance using long‑term RR intervals. It combines temporal convolutional networks for local feature extraction with Mamba, a state‑space model for long‑range sequence modeling, achieving high sensitivity (0.889) and specificity (0.943) in subject‑wise testing. The model maintains strong performance across unseen datasets, offering a favorable trade‑off between predictive accuracy and computational efficiency for real‑time ambulatory monitoring.

BEAT-Net: Injecting Biomimetic Spatio-Temporal Priors for Interpretable ECG Diagnosis

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.

NanoSleep: A Parameter-Efficient Hybrid Temporal Convolutional Network for Single-Channel Sleep Stage Classification

NanoSleep is a compact hybrid temporal convolutional network designed for single‑channel EEG sleep stage classification. It integrates a learnable Sinc‑convolutional front end, dual‑branch feature extraction for multi‑scale temporal and spectral representations, a gated dilated temporal convolutional backbone with channel recalibration, and a conditional random field for sequence‑level decoding. Evaluated on Sleep‑EDF and Sleep‑EDF‑Expanded datasets, NanoSleep consistently outperforms six baseline methods and demonstrates that each major component contributes to its performance.

A Hybrid CNN--State-Space--Attention Backbone with Joint-Embedding Predictive Pretraining for 12-Lead ECG Classification

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.

Atrial Fibrillation Detection with Arbitrary Leads via a Codebook-Based Reconstruction-Classification Framework

The paper introduces DCGCNet, a dual-codebook graph collaborative network that jointly reconstructs ECG signals and classifies atrial fibrillation. It incorporates a local‑global contrastive module for noise‑invariant feature learning and an adaptive codebook vector quantizer to prevent codebook collapse. The model achieves state‑of‑the‑art intra‑dataset performance and consistently attains AUC > 0.98 across seven cross‑dataset settings, even under realistic noisy conditions.

RTSM: Adapting Recursive Models to Multivariate Time-Series Classification

The paper introduces the Recursive Time-Series Model (RTSM), a deep-learning architecture that uses a learned convolutional temporal tokenizer, a single-state weight‑tied refinement module, and a pooled classification readout to classify multivariate time‑series data. On the 30 UEA datasets, RTSM achieves a mean accuracy of 72.81% under validation‑based configuration, surpassing all 17 evaluated deep‑learning models and outperforming MambaSL by 1.60 percentage points. Ablation studies show that the proposed tokenizer and single‑state design outperform simpler convolutional embeddings and two‑state variants, and the full classifier reaches 86.10% mean accuracy compared to 84.79% for a tokenizer‑only classifier.

CardioState-JEPA: Delay-Aware Cross-Modal Learning of a Shared Cardiac Representation

arXiv:2608. 12944v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrocardiography (ECG), photoplethysmography (PPG), and phonocardiography (PCG) provide complementary views of the same cardiac cycle, yet existing cardiac foundation models are trained for a single sensing modality, leaving the shared physiology across sensors unexploited.
