Extracting deep features from short ECG signals for early atrial fibrillation detection

作者:

Highlights:

• Atrial Fibrillation at early stage has no obvious symptoms and is difficult to detect.

• Extracting effective features is critical to AF detection using machine learning approaches.

• Existing studies used shallow time, frequency or energy features with weak representation.

• We propose three deep features that can accurately capture the subtle variation in short ECG segment.

• With the proposed feature set we achieve outstanding classification results than others.
