About The Project

This is a CNN based model which aims to automatically classify the ECG signals of a normal patient vs. a patient with Atrial Fibrillation and has been trained to achieve up to 93.33% validation accuracy.

The CNN used here is 1D Convolutional Neural Networks.

Dataset Information

• Download the dataset from MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation Database

Note: The dataset has been moved from the original URL. Hence, the dataset provided above may be different from the one that was originally used to create this project.

How to Run

The experiment should be fairly reproducible. However, a GPU would be recommended for training. For Inference, a CPU System would suffice.

1. Download the dataset from the above mentioned link.
2. Put them in the desired path and change the path of the Data_Preprocessing.ipynb to be able to read the signals from the downloaded CSVs.
3. Save the processed dataset as a Numpy Object in the desired location.
4. In the file Model.ipynb read the saved processed dataset and train the model.
5. Any unknown dataset can be then classified by using model.predict() function after the model has been trained successfully.

Hardware Used for the Experiment

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - 8 Cores 16 Threads
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB
• RAM: 32 GB DDR4 @ 3200 MHz
• Storage: 1 TB NVMe SSD (This is not important, even a normal SSD would suffice)
• OS: Ubuntu 20.10

Alternative Option: Google Colaboratory - GPU Kernel

Built With

Simple List of Deep Learning Libraries. The main Architecture/Model is developed with Keras, which comes as a part of Tensorflow 1.x

• Scikit Learn
• Keras
• Matplotlib
• Numpy
• Pandas

Changelog

Since this is a Proof of Concept Project, I am not maintaining a CHANGELOG.md at the moment. However, the primary goal is to improve the architecture to make the predicted masks more accurate.

Future Improvements

This is a preliminary attempt and is a work-in-progress:

1. In this particular implementation, only 10 Normal patients' data and 10 Abnormal patients' data has been taken and used. The entire dataset has not been used. Using the complete dataset may significantly improve the model accuracy.
2. The CNN architecture can be further modified so as to find an optimal architecture that will learn better than the existing one.
3. As per experimentation, SGD (Stochastic Gradient Descent) optimizer works the best. However, with further change in model architecture, other optimizers like Adam and RMSProp may outperform the rather primitive SGD optimizer.
