BACKGROUND Electrocardiogram (ECG) recording and interpretation is the most common method used for the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias, nonetheless this process requires significant expertise and effort from the doctors’ perspective. Automated ECG signal classification could be a useful technique for the accurate detection and classification of several types of arrhythmias within a short timeframe. OBJECTIVE To review current approaches using state-of-the-art CNNs and deep learning methodologies in arrhythmia detection via ECG feature classification techniques and propose an optimised architecture capable of different types of arrhythmia diagnosis using publicly existing annotated arrhythmia databases from the MIT-BIH databases available at PHYSIONET (physionet.org) . METHODS A hybrid CNN-LSTM deep learning model is proposed to classify beats derived from two large ECG databases. The approach is proposed after a systematic review of current AI/DL methods applied in different types of arrhythmia diagnosis using the same public MIT-BIH databases. In the proposed architecture the CNN part carries out feature extraction and dimensionality reduction, and the LSTM part performs classification of the encoded ECG beat signals. RESULTS In experimental studies conducted with the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia and the MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation Databases average accuracies of 96.82% and 96.65% were noted respectively. CONCLUSIONS The proposed system can be used for arrhythmia diagnosis in clinical and mHealth applications managing a number of prevalent arrhythmias such as VT, AFIB, LBBB etc. The capability of CNNs to reduce the ECG beat signal’s size and extract its main features can be effectively combined with the LSTMs’ capability to learn the temporal dynamics of the input data for the accurate and automatic recognition of several types of cardiac arrhythmias. CLINICALTRIAL Not applicable.

Early and correct diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias is an important step in the treatment of patients. In the recent decades, a wide area of bio-signal processing is allocated to cardiac arrhythmia classification. Unlike other studies, which have employed Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal as a main signal to classify the arrhythmia and sometimes they have used other vital signals as an auxiliary signal to fill missing data and robust detections. In this study, the Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP) is used to classify six types of heart arrhythmias. In other words, in this study for first time, the arrhythmias are classified according ABP signal information. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used to de-noise and decompose ABP signal. On feature extraction stage, three types of features including frequency, power, and entropy are extracted. In classification stage, Least Square Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) is employed as a classifier. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity rates of 95.75%, 96.77%, and 96.32% are achieved, respectively. Currently, the classification of cardiac arrhythmias is based on the ABP signal which has some advantages. The recording of ABP signal is done by means of one electrode and therefore it has resulted in lower costs compared with the ECG signal. Finally, it has been shown that ABP has very important and valuable information about the heart performance and can be used in arrhythmia classification.

Deep Learning-based methods have emerged to be one of the most effective and practical solutions in a wide range of medical problems, including the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. A critical step to a precocious diagnosis in many heart dysfunctions diseases starts with the accurate detection and classification of cardiac arrhythmias, which can be achieved via electrocardiograms (ECGs). Motivated by the desire to enhance conventional clinical methods in diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias, we introduce an uncertainty-aware deep learning-based predictive model design for accurate large-scale classification of cardiac arrhythmias successfully trained and evaluated using three benchmark medical datasets. In addition, considering that the quantification of uncertainty estimates is vital for clinical decision-making, our method incorporates a probabilistic approach to capture the model’s uncertainty using a Bayesian-based approximation method without introducing additional parameters or significant changes to the network’s architecture. Although many arrhythmias classification solutions with various ECG feature engineering techniques have been reported in the literature, the introduced AI-based probabilistic-enabled method in this paper outperforms the results of existing methods in outstanding multiclass classification results that manifest F1 scores of 98.62% and 96.73% with (MIT-BIH) dataset of 20 annotations, and 99.23% and 96.94% with (INCART) dataset of eight annotations, and 97.25% and 96.73% with (BIDMC) dataset of six annotations, for the deep ensemble and probabilistic mode, respectively. We demonstrate our method’s high-performing and statistical reliability results in numerical experiments on the language modeling using the gating mechanism of Recurrent Neural Networks.

AbstractClassification of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) by humans remains challenging. We proposed a highly accessible method to develop a deep learning (DL) model and implement the model for mosquito image classification by using hardware that could regulate the development process. In particular, we constructed a dataset with 4120 images of Aedes mosquitoes that were older than 12 days old and had common morphological features that disappeared, and we illustrated how to set up supervised deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) with hyperparameter adjustment. The model application was first conducted by deploying the model externally in real time on three different generations of mosquitoes, and the accuracy was compared with human expert performance. Our results showed that both the learning rate and epochs significantly affected the accuracy, and the best-performing hyperparameters achieved an accuracy of more than 98% at classifying mosquitoes, which showed no significant difference from human-level performance. We demonstrated the feasibility of the method to construct a model with the DCNN when deployed externally on mosquitoes in real time.
