Partial Label Learning improves ECG diagnosis with ambiguous labels

Researchers have conducted a systematic study on applying Partial Label Learning (PLL) methods to electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnosis, addressing the challenge of ambiguous labels in real-world clinical settings. The study adapted nine PLL algorithms for multi-label ECG diagnosis, evaluating their performance on both real clinical data with diagnostic disagreements and synthetically generated label ambiguities. Findings indicate that PLL methods show varying robustness to different types and levels of ambiguity but generally outperform standard supervised training, suggesting their value for improving ECG diagnostic models. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust AI models for medical diagnosis by addressing real-world data imperfections.

    Investigating ECG Diagnosis with Ambiguous Labels using Partial Label Learning

    arXiv:2512.11095v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Label ambiguity is an inherent and largely unaddressed challenge in real-world electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnosis, arising from overlapping conditions and diagnostic disagreements. However, current ECG models are trained assuming…
