Machine Learning ECG Classification Using Wavelet Scattering of Feature Extraction by Heyam A. Marzog, Haider. J. Abd

“…Through wavelet cascades with a neural network, the wavelet scattering transform can yield a translation invariant and deflection depictions of ECG signals. We suggested a new wavelet scattering transform-based method for automatically classifying three types of ECG heart diseases as follows: arrhythmia (ARR), congestive heart failure (CHF), and normal sinus rhythm (NSR). …”
