• Title: Accuracy Improvement for Fully Convolutional Networks via Selective Augmentation with Applications to Electrocardiogram Data
• Authors: Lucas Cassiel Jacaruso
• Abstract summary: The accuracy of the proposed approach was optimal near a defined upper threshold for qualifying low confidence samples and decreased as this threshold was raised to include higher confidence samples. This suggests exclusively selecting lower confidence samples for data augmentation comes with distinct benefits for electrocardiogram data classification with Fully Convolutional Networks.

• Abstract: Deep learning methods have shown suitability for time series classification in the health and medical domain, with promising results for electrocardiogram data classification. Successful identification of myocardial infarction holds life saving potential and any meaningful improvement upon deep learning models in this area is of great interest. Conventionally, data augmentation methods are applied universally to the training set when data are limited in order to ameliorate data resolution or sample size. In the method proposed in this study, data augmentation was not applied in the context of data scarcity. Instead, samples that yield low confidence predictions were selectively augmented in order to bolster the model's sensitivity to features or patterns less strongly associated with a given class. This approach was tested for improving the performance of a Fully Convolutional Network. The proposed approach achieved 90 percent accuracy for classifying myocardial infarction as opposed to 82 percent accuracy for the baseline, a marked improvement. Further, the accuracy of the proposed approach was optimal near a defined upper threshold for qualifying low confidence samples and decreased as this threshold was raised to include higher confidence samples. This suggests exclusively selecting lower confidence samples for data augmentation comes with distinct benefits for electrocardiogram data classification with Fully Convolutional Networks.

  Contrastive Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) offers a potential solution to labeled data scarcity. We propose uncovering the optimal augmentations for applying contrastive learning in 1D phonocardiogram (PCG) classification. We demonstrate that depending on its training distribution, the effectiveness of a fully-supervised model can degrade up to 32%, while SSL models only lose up to 10% or even improve in some cases.

  We propose an effective approach, dubbed SelectAugment, to select samples to be augmented in a deterministic and online manner. Specifically, in each batch, we first determine the augmentation ratio, and then decide whether to augment each training sample under this ratio. In this way, the negative effects of the randomness in selecting samples to augment can be effectively alleviated and the effectiveness of DA is improved.
