Using Explainability as a Training-Time Reliability Signal for Efficient ECG Classification
Researchers have developed two novel approaches to improve the efficiency and performance of deep learning models in clinical time-series analysis, specifically for electrocardiogram (ECG) classification. One method, ERTS, uses explainability metrics during training to filter out unreliable data and prioritize informative samples, thereby reducing computational costs and enhancing reliability. The other approach focuses on generating synthetic ECG data using a knowledge-driven algorithm to pre-train models, which has shown significant performance gains, particularly when real-world datasets are limited.
