Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Arrhythmia classification based on electrocardiograms (ECG) can enhance clinical diagnostic efficiency. However, due to the significant differences in the number of different categories of heartbeats, the performance of classes with fewer samples in arrhythmia classification have not met expectations under the inter-patient paradigm. This paper aims to mitigate the adverse effects of category imbalance and improve arrhythmia classification performance.
