• Abstract: Ubiquitous sensing from wearable devices in the wild holds promise for enhancing human well-being, from diagnosing clinical conditions and measuring stress to building adaptive health promoting scaffolds. But the large volumes of data therein across heterogeneous contexts pose challenges for conventional supervised learning approaches. Representation Learning from biological signals is an emerging realm catalyzed by the recent advances in computational modeling and the abundance of publicly shared databases. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the primary researched modality in this context, with applications in health monitoring, stress and affect estimation. Yet, most studies are limited by small-scale controlled data collection and over-parameterized architecture choices. We introduce \textbf{WildECG}, a pre-trained state-space model for representation learning from ECG signals. We train this model in a self-supervised manner with 275,000 10s ECG recordings collected in the wild and evaluate it on a range of downstream tasks. The proposed model is a robust backbone for ECG analysis, providing competitive performance on most of the tasks considered, while demonstrating efficacy in low-resource regimes. The code and pre-trained weights are shared publicly at https://github.com/klean2050/tiles_ecg_model.

  Electrocardiogram (ECG) delineation plays a crucial role in assisting cardiologists with accurate diagnoses. We introduce a dataset for ECG delineation and propose a novel self-trained method aimed at leveraging a vast amount of unlabeled ECG data. Our approach involves the pseudolabeling of unlabeled data using a neural network trained on our dataset. Subsequently, we train the model on the newly labeled samples to enhance the quality of delineation.

  Existing databases for ECG delineation are small, being insufficient in size and in the array of pathological conditions they represent. This article delves has two main contributions. First, a pseudo-synthetic data generation algorithm was developed, based in probabilistically composing ECG traces given "pools" of fundamental segments, as cropped from the original databases, and a set of rules for their arrangement into coherent synthetic traces. Second, two novel segmentation-based loss functions have been developed, which attempt at enforcing the prediction of an exact number of independent structures and at producing closer segmentation boundaries by focusing on a reduced number of samples.
