Arrhythmia Classification of ECG Signal Using Deep Learning with Self-attention
摘要
This paper proposes a deep learning-based approach for arrhythmia classification in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals using a self-attention mechanism. The model leverages a combination of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for feature extraction and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to capture temporal dependencies in the ECG data. To enhance the model's ability to focus on relevant features, the scaled dot product, a self-attention mechanism is integrated within the LSTM framework, allowing the model to assign varying levels of importance to different time steps in the signal. Experimental results demonstrate that the incorporation of attention mechanisms significantly improves classification performance, with accuracy 98% in four categories of arrhythmias, offering an effective solution for the automated detection of arrhythmia in clinical settings.
