Abstract Arrhythmia has been classified using a variety of methods. Because of the dynamic nature of electrocardiogram (ECG) data, traditional handcrafted approaches are difficult to execute, making the machine learning (ML) solutions more appealing. Patients with cardiac arrhythmias can benefit from competent monitoring to save their lives. Cardiac arrhythmia classification and prediction have greatly improved in recent years. Arrhythmias are a category of conditions in which the heart's electrical activity is abnormally rapid or sluggish. Every year, it is one of the main reasons of mortality for both men and women, worldwide. For the classification of arrhythmias, this work proposes a… More >

Abstract Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a measure of the heart’s electrical activity. Recently, ECG detection and classification have benefited from the use of computer-aided systems by cardiologists. The goal of this paper is to improve the accuracy of ECG classification by combining the Dipper Throated Optimization (DTO) and Differential Evolution Algorithm (DEA) into a unified algorithm to optimize the hyperparameters of neural network (NN) for boosting the ECG classification accuracy. In addition, we proposed a new feature selection method for selecting the significant feature that can improve the overall performance. To prove the superiority of the proposed approach, several experiments were… More >
