Abstract |
The transformer based model (e.g., FusingTF) has been employed recently for Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal classification. However, the high-dimensional embedding obtained via 1-D convolution and positional encoding can lead to the loss of the signal’s own temporal information and a large amount of training parameters. In this paper, we propose a new method for ECG classification, called low-dimensional denoising embedding transformer (LDTF), which contains two components, i.e., low-dimensional denoising embedding (LDE) and transformer learning. In the LDE component, a low-dimensional representation of the signal is obtained in the time-frequency domain while preserving its own temporal information. And with the low-dimensional embedding, the transformer learning is then used to obtain a deeper and narrower structure with fewer training parameters than that of the FusingTF. Experiments conducted on the MIT-BIH dataset demonstrates the effectiveness and the superior performance of our proposed method, as compared with state-of-the-art methods. |
