To reduce the negative effect of domain discrepancy on the classification accuracy of ECG signals, this paper incorporates transfer learning into the ECG classification, which aims at applying the knowledge learned from the training set to the test set.

Then, the network is pre-trained with training set data obtained from the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Beth Israel Hospital(MIT-BIH) ECG arrhythmia database. On this basis, by minimizing the multi-kernel maximum mean discrepancy(MK-MMD) between the data distributions of the training set and the test set, the pre-trained network is adjusted to learn transferable feature representations. Finally, with the low-density separation of unlabeled target data, the feature representations are more transferable. The extensive experimental results show that the proposed domain adaptation method has reached a 7.58% improvement in overall classification accuracy on the test set, and achieves competitive performance with other state-of-the-arts.展开更多
