  • 通过信号质量指数筛选低质数据,防止错误更新
  • 保持心跳形态与节律动态一致性,避免模型漂移
  • 适合部署于设备或人群差异大的临床心电诊断场景

心电图(ECG)深度学习模型在部署到未见领域时,常因设备和患者群体差异导致性能显著下降。测试时自适应(TTA)通过推理时使用无标签数据调整模型,提供实用解决方案。但现有方法在ECG任务中表现不佳,因盲目在线更新忽略了心脏周期的层次化心跳-节律结构,且易受信号伪影干扰,导致适应不稳定与模型漂移。本文提出专为ECG设计的BeatRhythm-TTA框架,显式建模噪声观测与域偏移下的心跳-节律语义结构。首先,引入信号质量指数(SQI)门控机制,筛选并剔除低质量信号以防止有害更新;其次,强制双层一致性,使模型在适应新采集条件时同时保持心跳形态与节律动态不变。在三组跨域适应协议上进行的大量实验,以PTB-XL为源域,CPSC2018与Georgia为两个目标域,验证了该方法有效性,相较最优对比方法平均提升宏平均F1得分2.70%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Deep learning models for electrocardiogram (ECG) classification often suffer from significant performance degradation when deployed in unseen domains due to shifts in acquisition devices and patient populations. Test-time adaptation (TTA) offers a practical solution by adapting models using only unlabeled data at inference time. However, existing TTA methods often underperform on ECG tasks, since naive online updates ignore the hierarchical beat-rhythm structure of cardiac cycles and are vulnerable to signal artifacts, which leads to unstable adaptation and model drift. We propose BeatRhythm-TTA, an ECG-tailored TTA framework that explicitly accounts for ECG's noisy observations and structured beat-rhythm semantics under domain shift. First, to handle pervasive ECG artifacts, we introduce a Signal Quality Index (SQI)-gated adaptation scheme that selectively filters out low-quality signals to prevent harmful updates. Second, to leverage ECG's beat-rhythm semantics, we enforce dual-level consistency so the model preserves beat morphology and rhythm dynamics while adapting to shifted acquisition conditions. Extensive experiments on multi-label ECG diagnosis across three adaptation protocols, using PTB-XL as the source domain and CPSC2018/Georgia as two target domains, demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, yielding an average +2.70% relative improvement in Macro-F1 over the best competing method.
