Abstract
The design of neural networks typically involves trial-and-error, a time-consuming process for obtaining an optimal architecture, even for experienced researchers. Additionally, it is widely accepted that loss functions of deep neural networks are generally non-convex with respect to the parameters to be optimised. We propose the Layer-wise Convex Theorem to ensure that the loss is convex with respect to the parameters of a given layer, achieved by constraining each layer to be an overdetermined system of non-linear equations. Based on this theorem, we developed an end-to-end algorithm (the AutoNet) to automatically generate layer-wise convex networks (LCNs) for any given training set. We then demonstrate the performance of the AutoNet-generated LCNs (AutoNet-LCNs) compared to state-of-the-art models on three electrocardiogram (ECG) classification benchmark datasets, with further validation on two non-ECG benchmark datasets for more general tasks. The AutoNet-LCN was able to find networks customised for each dataset without manual fine-tuning under 2 GPU-hours, and the resulting networks outperformed the state-of-the-art models with fewer than 5% parameters on all the above five benchmark datasets. The efficiency and robustness of the AutoNet-LCN markedly reduce model discovery costs and enable efficient training of deep learning models in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a rapidly developing field. Its use can improve diagnosis and therapy in many areas of medicine. Despite this enormous progress, many physicians perceive it as a black box and are skeptical about it. This review will present the basics of machine learning. Different classifications of artificial intelligence, such as supervised versus unsupervised and discriminative versus generative AI, are given. Analogies to human intelligence are discussed as far as algorithms are oriented toward it. In the second step, the most common models like random forest, k-means clustering, convolutional neural network, and transformers will be presented in a way that the underlying idea can be understood. Corresponding medical applications in cardiovascular medicine will be named for all models, respectively. The overview is intended to show that the term artificial intelligence covers a wide range of different concepts. It should help physicians understand the principles of AI to make up one's minds about its application in cardiology. It should also enable them to evaluate results obtained with AI's help critically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a powerful tool for studying cardiac activity and diagnosing various cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmia. While machine learning and deep learning algorithms have been applied to ECG interpretation, there is still room for improvement. For instance, the commonly used Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), reply on its previous state to update and is therefore ineffective for parallel computing. RNN also struggles to efficiently address the issue of long-distance reliance. PURPOSE To reduce computational complexity by dimensionality reduction of ECG signals we constructed a Stacked Auto-encoders model using Transformer for ECG-based arrhythmia detection. And overcome the challenges of long-term dependencies and limited parallelizability in traditional RNNs when applied to ECG signal processing. METHODS In this paper, a Transformer-Based ECG Dimensionality Reduction Stacked Auto-encoders model is proposed for ECG-based arrhythmia detection. The transformer is used to encode ECG signals into a feature matrix, which is then dimensionally reduced using unsupervised greedy training through the four linear layers. This resulted in a low-dimensional representation of ECG features, which are subsequently classified using support vector machines (SVM) to minimize overfitting. RESULTS The proposed method is benchmarked on the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. In the 10-fold cross validation of beat-based arrhythmia detection, the average accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and F1 score of the proposed method are 99.83%, 98.84%, 99.84% and 99.13%, respectively, for the record-based arrhythmia detection which refers to the approach where the training and testing sets use ECG data from independent recorded patients are 88.10%, 49.79%, 91.56% and 39.95%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Compared to other existing ECG-based arrhythmia detection methods, our proposed approach exhibits improved detection accuracy and stronger generalization for arrhythmia beats. Additionally, the use of the record-based data division method makes our approach more suitable for clinical practice.

Method for Solving Difficulties in Rhythm Classification Caused by Few Samples and Similar Characteristics in Electrocardiograms. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:bioengineering10020196.

Abstract
A method for accurately analyzing electrocardiograms (ECGs), which are obtained from electrical signals generated by cardiac activity, is essential in heart disease diagnosis. However, rhythms are typically obtained with relatively few data samples and similar characteristics, making them difficult to classify. To solve these issues, we proposed a novel method that distinguishes a given ECG rhythm using a beat score map (BSM) image. Through the proposed method, the associations between beats and previously used features, such as the R-R interval, were considered. Rhythm classification was implemented by training a convolutional neural network model and using transfer learning with the created BSM image. As a result, the proposed method for ECG rhythms with small data samples showed significant results. It also showed good performance in differentiating atrial fibrillation (AFIB) and atrial flutter (AFL) rhythms, which are difficult to distinguish due to their similar characteristics. The performance for rhythms with a small number of samples of the proposed method is 20% better than an existing method. In addition, the performance based on the F-1 score for classifying AFIB and AFL of the proposed method is 30% better than the existing method. This study solved the previous limitations caused by small sample numbers and similar rhythms.

Abstract
Heart rate at rest and exercise may predict cardiovascular risk. Heart rate variability is a measure of variation in time between each heartbeat, representing the balance between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system and may predict adverse cardiovascular events. With advances in technology and increasing commercial interest, the scope of remote monitoring health systems has expanded. In this review, we discuss the concepts behind cardiac signal generation and recording, wearable devices, pros and cons focusing on accuracy, ease of application of commercial and medical grade diagnostic devices, which showed promising results in terms of reliability and value. Incorporation of artificial intelligence and cloud based remote monitoring have been evolving to facilitate timely data processing, improve patient convenience and ensure data security.

Abstract
As an important auxiliary tool of arrhythmia diagnosis, Electrocardiogram (ECG) is frequently utilized to detect a variety of cardiovascular diseases caused by arrhythmia, such as cardiac mechanical infarction. In the past few years, the classification of ECG has always been a challenging problem. This paper presents a novel deep learning model called convolutional vision transformer (ConViT), which combines vision transformer (ViT) with convolutional neural network (CNN), for ECG arrhythmia classification, in which the unique soft convolutional inductive bias of gated positional self-attention (GPSA) layers integrates the superiorities of attention mechanism and convolutional architecture. Moreover, the time-reassigned synchrosqueezing transform (TSST), a newly developed time-frequency analysis (TFA) method where the time-frequency coefficients are reassigned in the time direction, is employed to sharpen pulse traits for feature extraction. Aiming at the class imbalance phenomena in the traditional ECG database, the smote algorithm and focal loss (FL) are used for data augmentation and minority-class weighting, respectively. The experiment using MIT-BIH arrhythmia database indicates that the overall accuracy of the proposed model is as high as 99.5%. Furthermore, the specificity (Spe), F1-Score and positive Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of supra ventricular ectopic beat (S) and ventricular ectopic beat (V) are all more than 94%. These results demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to most of the existing methods.

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to develop an optimized system to detect Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in compressively sensed electrocardiogram (ECG) for long-term remote patient monitoring. A three-stage system was developed to 1) reject ECG of poor signal quality, 2) detect AF in compressively sensed ECG, and 3) detect AF in selectively reconstructed ECG. The Long-Term AF Database (LTAFDB), sampled at 128 Hz using a 12-bit ADC with a range of 20 mV, was used to validate the system. The LTAFDB had 83,315 normal and 82,435 AF rhythm 30 s ECG segments. Clean ECG from the LTAFDB was artificially contaminated with motion artifact to achieve −12 to 12 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in steps of 3 dB. The contaminated ECG was compressively sensed at 50% and 75% compression ratio (CR). The system was evaluated using average precision (AP), the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operator characteristic curve, and the F1 score. The system was optimized to maximize the AP and minimize ECG rejection and reconstruction ratios. The optimized system for 50% CR had 0.72 AP, 0.63 AUC, and 0.58 F1 score, 0.38 rejection ratio, and 0.38 reconstruction ratio. The optimized system for 75% CR had 0.72 AP, 0.63 AUC, and 0.59 F1 score, 0.40 rejection ratio, and 0.35 reconstruction ratio. Challenges for long-term AF monitoring are the short battery life of monitors and the high false alarm rate due to artifacts. The proposed system improves the short battery life through compressive sensing while reducing false alarms (high AP) and ECG reconstruction (low reconstruction ratio).

Abstract
Physiological signals are strongly related to a person’s state of health and carry information about the human body. For example, by ECG, it is possible to obtain information about cardiac disease, emotions, personal identification, and the sex of a person, among others. This paper proposes the study of the heartbeat from a soft-biometric perspective to be applied to smartphone unlocking services. We employ the user heartbeat to classify the individual by sex (male, female) with the use of Deep Learning, reaching an accuracy of 94.4% ± 2.0%. This result was obtained with the RGB representation of the union of the time-frequency transformation from the pseudo-orthogonal X, Y, and Z bipolar signals. Evaluating each bipolar contribution, we found that the XYZ combination provides the best category distinction using GoogLeNet. The 24-h Holter database of the study contains 202 subjects with a female size of 49.5%. We propose an architecture for managing this signal that allows the use of a few samples to train the network. Due to the hidden nature of ECG, it does not present vulnerabilities like public trait exposition, light/noise sensibility, or learnability compared to fingerprint, facial, voice, or password verification methods. ECG may complement those gaps en route to a cooperative authentication ecosystem.

Abstract
AbstractDeep neural networks (DNNs) have made significant achievements in a wide variety of domains. For the deep learning tasks, multiple excellent hardware platforms provide efficient solutions, including graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units (CPUs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Nonetheless, CPUs outperform other solutions including GPUs in many cases for the inference workload of DNNs with the support of various techniques, such as the high-performance libraries being the basic building blocks for DNNs. Thus, CPUs have been a preferred choice for DNN inference applications, particularly in the low-latency demand scenarios. However, the DNN inference efficiency remains a critical issue, especially when low latency is required under conditions with limited hardware resources, such as embedded systems. At the same time, the hardware features have not been fully exploited for DNNs and there is much room for improvement. To this end, this paper conducts a series of experiments to make a thorough study for the inference workload of prominent state-of-the-art DNN architectures on a single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) CPU platform, as well as with widely applicable scopes for multiple hardware platforms. The study goes into depth in DNNs: the CPU kernel-instruction level performance characteristics of DNNs including branches, branch prediction misses, cache misses, etc, and the underlying convolutional computing mechanism at the SIMD level; The thorough layer-wise time consumption details with potential time-cost bottlenecks; And the exhaustive dynamic activation sparsity with exact details on the redundancy of DNNs. The research provides researchers with comprehensive and insightful details, as well as crucial target areas for optimising and improving the efficiency of DNNs at both the hardware and software levels.

Abstract
Background Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most common noninvasive diagnostic tools that can provide useful information regarding a patient’s health status. Deep learning (DL) is an area of intense exploration that leads the way in most attempts to create powerful diagnostic models based on physiological signals. Objective This study aimed to provide a systematic review of DL methods applied to ECG data for various clinical applications. Methods The PubMed search engine was systematically searched by combining “deep learning” and keywords such as “ecg,” “ekg,” “electrocardiogram,” “electrocardiography,” and “electrocardiology.” Irrelevant articles were excluded from the study after screening titles and abstracts, and the remaining articles were further reviewed. The reasons for article exclusion were manuscripts written in any language other than English, absence of ECG data or DL methods involved in the study, and absence of a quantitative evaluation of the proposed approaches. Results We identified 230 relevant articles published between January 2020 and December 2021 and grouped them into 6 distinct medical applications, namely, blood pressure estimation, cardiovascular disease diagnosis, ECG analysis, biometric recognition, sleep analysis, and other clinical analyses. We provide a complete account of the state-of-the-art DL strategies per the field of application, as well as major ECG data sources. We also present open research problems, such as the lack of attempts to address the issue of blood pressure variability in training data sets, and point out potential gaps in the design and implementation of DL models. Conclusions We expect that this review will provide insights into state-of-the-art DL methods applied to ECG data and point to future directions for research on DL to create robust models that can assist medical experts in clinical decision-making.
