Label-Conditioned Cross-Modal Fusion for Adult-to-Pediatric ECG Transfer via Curriculum-Gated Contrastive Alignment

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2605. 00647v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Automated pediatric electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation remains challenging because developmental differences in heart rate, intervals, and waveforms limit the transferability of models trained mainly on adult data, while expert-labeled pediatric ECG cohorts are scarce.

Knowledge-Guided Cross-Modal Fusion for Adult-to-Pediatric ECG Transfer via Label-Conditioned Contrastive Alignment

arXiv:2607. 15928v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adult and pediatric electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation relies on age-sensitive criteria, and models pretrained mainly on adult ECGs often transfer poorly to pediatric populations when pediatric labels are scarce.

FOCAL: Fine-Grained Optimal-Transport-Driven Contrastive Alignment of Language and ECGs with Waveform Enhancement

FOCAL is a framework that aligns fine-grained ECG waveform segments with specific report tags using Optimal Transport, addressing the lack of localized representation in prior methods. It introduces a semantic similarity matrix to mitigate false negatives when reports share diagnoses, and a coarse‑to‑fine enrichment pipeline that employs Large Language Models to recover missing waveform semantics while filtering hallucinations. Experiments on six datasets show FOCAL achieves state‑of‑the‑art zero‑shot prediction and linear probing performance.

ECG-LLM: Foundation Model for ECG-Based Cardiac Reasoning

arXiv:2607. 16323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electrocardiography (ECG) is an inexpensive, standard-of-care test for cardiac symptoms, but front-line triage often lacks immediate access to definitive imaging such as echocardiography (ECHO) or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
