• Abstract summary: This work discusses the use of contrastive learning and deep learning for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases from electrocardiography (ECG) signals. While the ECG signals usually contain 12 leads (channels), many healthcare facilities and devices lack access to all these 12 leads. We introduce a simple experiment to test whether contrastive learning can be applied to this task.

• Abstract: This work discusses the use of contrastive learning and deep learning for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases from electrocardiography (ECG) signals. While the ECG signals usually contain 12 leads (channels), many healthcare facilities and devices lack access to all these 12 leads. This raises the problem of how to use only fewer ECG leads to produce meaningful diagnoses with high performance. We introduce a simple experiment to test whether contrastive learning can be applied to this task. More specifically, we added the similarity between the embedding vectors when the 12 leads signal and the fewer leads ECG signal to the loss function to bring these representations closer together. Despite its simplicity, this has been shown to have improved the performance of diagnosing with all lead combinations, proving the potential of contrastive learning on this task.

  We propose an inter-intra period-aware ECG representation learning approach. Considering ECGs of atrial fibrillation patients exhibit the irregularity in RR intervals and the absence of P-waves, we develop specific pre-training tasks for interperiod and intraperiod representations. Our approach demonstrates remarkable AUC performances on the BTCH dataset, textiti.e., 0.953/0.996 for paroxysmal/persistent atrial fibrillation detection.

  Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the primary non-invasive diagnostic tool for monitoring cardiac conditions. Recent studies have concentrated on classifying cardiac conditions using ECG data but have overlooked ECG report generation. We propose the Multimodal ECG Instruction Tuning (MEIT) framework, the first attempt to tackle ECG report generation with LLMs and multimodal instructions.

  Auditory Attention Detection (AAD) aims to detect target speaker from brain signals in a multi-speaker environment. Current approaches primarily rely on traditional convolutional neural network designed for processing Euclidean data like images. This paper proposes a dynamical graph self-distillation (DGSD) approach for AAD, which does not require speech stimuli as input.

  We propose a novel knowledge distillation approach to transfer the knowledge from a sophisticated seizure detector (called the teacher) trained on data from the full set of electrodes to learn new detectors (called the student) They are both providing lightweight implementations and significantly reducing the number of electrodes needed for recording the EEG. Our experiments show that both knowledge-distillation and personalization play significant roles in improving performance of seizure detection, particularly for patients with scarce EEG data.
