In this project, we put forward a new automated quality aware ECG beat classification method for effectual diagnosis of ECG arrhythmias under unsubstantiated health concern environments. The suggested method contains three foremost junctures i ECG signal quality assessment ECG SQA based whether it is “acceptable†or “unacceptable†based on our preceding adapted complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition CEEMD and temporal features, ii reconstruction of ECG signal and R peak detection iii the ECG beat classification as well as the ECG beat extraction, beat alignment and Random forest RF based beat classification. The accuracy and robustness of the anticipated method is evaluated by means of different normal and abnormal ECG signals taken from the standard MIT BIH arrhythmia database. The suggested ECG beat extraction approach can recover the categorization accuracy by protecting the QRS complex portion and background noises is suppressed under an acceptable level of noise . The quality aware ECG beat classification techniques attains higher kappa values for the classification accuracies which can be reliable as evaluated to the heartbeat classification methods without the ECG quality assessment process.

In this paper, different machine learning algorithms such as Linear Discriminant Analysis, Support vector
machine (SVM), Multi-layer perceptron, Random forest, K-nearest neighbour, and Autoencoder with SVM
have been compared. This comparison was conducted to seek a robust method that would produce good
classification accuracy. To this end, a robust method of classifying raw Electroencephalography (EEG)
signals associated with imagined movement of the right hand and relaxation state, namely Autoencoder
with SVM has been proposed. The EEG dataset used in this research was created by the University of
Tubingen, Germany. The best classification accuracy achieved was 70.4% with SVM through feature

CLASSIFICATION OF OCT IMAGES FOR DETECTING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY DISEASE USING...sipij
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging aids in retinal abnormality detection by showing the
tomographic retinal layers. OCT images are a useful tool for detecting Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) disease
because of their capability to capture micrometer-resolution. An automated technique was introduced to
differentiate DR images from normal ones. 214 images were subjected to the experiment, of which 160
images were used for classifiers’ training, and 54 images were used for testing. Different features were
extracted to feed our classifiers, including statistical features and local binary pattern (LBP) features. The
experimental results demonstrated that our classifiers were able to discriminate DR retina from the normal
retina with Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve (AUC) of 100%. The retinal
OCT images have common texture patterns and using a powerful tool for pattern analysis like LBP
features has a significant impact on the achieved results. The result has better performance than previously
proposed methods in the literature.
METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE CLASSIFICATION ACCURACY OF BIOMEDICAL SIGNALS BASED...IAEME Publication
Biomedical signals are long records of electrical activity within the human body, and they faithfully represent the state of health of a person. Of the many biomedical signals, focus of this work is on Electro-encephalogram (EEG), Electro-cardiogram (ECG) and Electro-myogram (EMG). It is tiresome for physicians to visually examine the long records of biomedical signals to arrive at conclusions. Automated classification of these signals can largely assist the physicians in their diagnostic process. Classifying a biomedical signal is the process of attaching the signal to a disease state or healthy state. Classification Accuracy (CA) depends on the features extracted from the signal and the classification process involved. Certain critical information on the health of a person is usually hidden in the spectral content of the signal. In this paper, effort is made for the improvement in CA when spectral features are included in the classification process.

Automated segmentation and classification technique for brain strokeIJECEIAES
Difussion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) plays an important role in the diagnosis of brain stroke by providing detailed information regarding the soft tissue contrast in the brain organ. Conventionally, the differential diagnosis of brain stroke lesions is performed manually by professional neuroradiologists during a highly subjective and time- consuming process. This study proposes a segmentation and classification technique to detect brain stroke lesions based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The type of stroke lesions consists of acute ischemic, sub-acute ischemic, chronic ischemic and acute hemorrhage. For segmentation, fuzzy c-Means (FCM) and active contour is proposed to segment the lesion’s region. FCM is implemented with active contour to separate the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) with the hypointense lesion. Pre-processing is applied to the DWI for image normalization, background removal and image enhancement. The algorithm performance has been evaluated using Jaccard Index, Dice Coefficient (DC) and both false positive rate (FPR) and false negative rate (FNR). The average results for the Jaccard index, DC, FPR and FNR are 0.55, 0.68, 0.23 and 0.23, respectively. First statistical order method is applied to the segmentation result to obtain the features for the classifier input. For classification technique, bagged tree classifier is proposed to classify the type of stroke. The accuracy results for the classification is 90.8%. Based on the results, the proposed technique has potential to segment and classify brain stroke lesion from DWI images.

MRI Image Segmentation Using Gradient Based Watershed Transform In Level Set ...IJERA Editor
Brain image classification is one of the utmost imperative parts of clinical investigative tools. Brain images
typically comprise noise, inhomogeneity and sometimes deviation. Therefore, precise segmentation of brain
images is a very challenging task. Nevertheless, the process of perfect segmentation of these images is very
important and crucial for a spot-on diagnosis by clinical tools. Also, intensity inhomogeneity often arises in realworld
images, which presents a substantial challenge in image segmentation. The most extensively used image
segmentation algorithms are region-based and usually rely on the homogeneousness of the image intensities in
the sections of interest, which often fail to afford precise segmentation results due to the intensity
inhomogeneity. This Research presents a more accurate segmentation using Gradient Based watershed
transform in level set method for a medical diagnosis system. Experimental results proved that our method
validating a much better rate of segmentation accuracy as compare to the traditional approaches, results are also
validated in terms of certain Measure properties of image regions like eccentricity, perimeter etc.

The electrocardiograph (ECG) contains cardiac features unique to each individual. By analyzing ECG, it should therefore be possible not only to detect the rate and consistency of heartbeats but to also extract other signal features in order to identify ECG records belonging to individual subjects. In this paper, a new approach for automatic analysis of single lead ECG for human recognition is proposed and evaluated. Eighteen temporal, amplitude, width and autoregressive (AR) model parameters are extracted from each ECG beat and classified in order to identify each individual. Proposed system uses pre-processing stage to decrease the effects of noise and other unwanted artifacts usually present in raw ECG data. Following pre-processing steps, ECG stream is partitioned into separate windows where each window includes single beat of ECG signal. Window estimation is based on the localization of the R peaks in the ECG stream that detected by Filter bank method for QRS complex detection. ECG features – temporal, amplitude and AR coefficients are then extracted and used as an input to K-nn and SVM classification algorithms in order to identify the individual subjects and beats. Signal pre-processing techniques, applied feature extraction methods and some intermediate and final classification results are presented in this paper.

St variability assessment based on complexity factor using independent compon...eSAT Journals
Abstract
In recent days the computerized ECG has become the most effective and convenient diagnostic tool to identify cardiac diseases
such as Myocardial Ischemia (MI). Among the Cardio vascular diseases (CVDs) the Myocardial Ischemia (MI) is one of the
leading causes of heart attacks. The Myocardial Ischemia (MI) occurs due to the difficulties in the flow of the electrical impulses
from SA node to bundle branches because of the abnormalities in the conduction system. Normally the ECG is used as a main
diagnostic tool to identify the cardiac diseases. In order to obtain accurate information from ECG it is necessary to remove all the
artifacts and extract the pure ECG from noise background. In this paper the removal of the artifacts is achieved with linear
filtering and the extraction of the clean ECG signal is performed using Independent Component Analysis (ICA). After
preprocessing and ECG extraction, the QRS complex of each beat is detected by using Hilbert Transform and simple threshold
detection algorithm. Next the Instantaneous Heart Rate (IHR) from RR interval and Complexity Factor (CF) from time series ST
segment are computed for each beat to form desired feature sets. Later a linear regression model is designed using Instantaneous
heart rate (IHR) and ST segment Complexity Factors (STCFs) based on Linear Regression analysis. The proposed ICA-STCFR
model is used to identify the ischemic beats from the test feature sets of ECG signal to assess the ST-Segment Variability (STV).
The ECG data sets obtained from a local hospital were used to design and test the model. The evaluation parameters, Ischemic
Intensity Factor (IIF), Ischemic Activity Factors (IAF) and Peak to Average Value (PAV) were used to evaluate the proposed
method and compared with Wavelet Transform based method. The proposed ICA-STCFR was found to be yielding better results
than WT-ST method.

Due to the growing number of cardiac patients, an automatic detection that detects various heart abnormalities has been developed to relieve and share physicians’ workload. Many of the depolarization of ventricles complex waves (QRS) detection algorithms with multiple properties have recently been presented; nevertheless, real-time implementations in low-cost systems remain a challenge due to limited hardware resources. The proposed algorithm finds a solution for the delay in processing by minimizing the input vector’s dimension and, as a result, the classifier’s complexity. In this paper, the wavelet transform is employed for feature extraction. The optimized neural network is used for classification with 8-classes for the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal this data is taken from two ECG signals (ST-T and MIT-BIH database). The wavelet transform coefficients are used for the artificial neural network’s training process and optimized by using the invasive weed optimization (IWO) algorithm. The suggested system has a sensitivity of over 70%, a specificity of over 94%, a positive predictive of over 65%, a negative predictive of more than 93%, and a classification accuracy of more than 80%. The performance of the classifier improves when the number of neurons in the hidden layer is increased.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) flag is the electrical action of the human heart. The ECG contains imperative data about the general execution of the human heart framework. In this way, exact examination of the ECG flag is extremely critical however difficult undertaking. ECG flag is regularly low adequacy and polluted with various kinds of commotions due to its estimation procedure e.g. control line obstruction, amplifier clamor and standard meander. Benchmark meander is a sort of organic commotion caused by the arbitrary development of patient amid ECG estimation and misshapes the ST fragment of the ECG waveform. In this paper, we present a far reaching near investigation of five generally utilized versatile filtering calculations for the evacuation of low recurrence clamor. We perform broad investigations on the Physionet MIT BIH ECG database and contrast the flag with commotion proportion (SNR), combination rate, and time many-sided quality of these calculations. It is discovered that modified LMS has better execution than others regarding SNR and assembly rate.

In this paper an effective and most reliable method for appropriate classification of cardiac arrhythmia using automatic Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been proposed. The results are encouraging and are found to have produced a very confident and efficient arrhythmia classification, which is easily applicable in diagnostic decision support system. The authors have employed 3 neural network classifiers to classify three types of beats of ECG signal, namely Normal (N), and two abnormal beats Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) and Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC). The classifiers used in this paper are K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC) and Multi-Class Support Vector Machine (MSVM). The performance of the classifiers is evaluated using 5 parametric measures namely Sensitivity (Se), Specificity (Sp), Precision (Pr), Bit Error Rate (BER) and Accuracy (A). Hence MSVM classifier using Crammers method is very effective for proper ECG beat classification.

All these analysis methods are trained and tested with MIT-BIH 12 channel ECG waveforms. Before trained these methods, MSO-FIR filter should be used as data preprocessing for removal of noise from original multi-channel ECG waveforms. MSO technique is used for automatically finding out the cutoff frequency of multichannel ECG waveforms which is used in low-pass filtering process. The classification performance is discussed using mean squared error, member function, classification accuracy, complexity of design, and area under curve on MIT-BIH data. Additionally, this research work is extended for the samples of multi-channel ECG waveforms from the Scope diagnostic center, Hyderabad. Our study assets the best process using the Soft Computing methods for analysis of multi-channel ECG waveforms

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

computing the signal quality indexes (SQIs), different time-
domain and spectral features, RR-interval andQRScomplex-
based features, higher-order statistical features are
extracted from the processed ECG signal. Some of the
methods used a set of decision rules and machine learning
approaches to classify the recorded ECG signals into two-
four quality groups such as acceptable and unacceptable;
acceptable, intermediate and unacceptable; and excellent,
very good, good and bad based on the measured SQI values.
The limitation of most methods is the accurate and reliable
extraction of the ECG morphological features that can be
very difficult under time-varying ECG morphological
patterns and heart rates.
II. RELATED WORK
Zaunsederet, al., (2011) propose the ECG classification
problem make use of a methodology, which can augment
classification performance while concurrently reducing the
computational resources, making it exceptionally adequate
for its application in the progressment of ambulatory
settings. For this rationale, the sequential forward floating
search (SFFS) algorithm was applied with a new standard
function index based on linear discriminants.
Coimbraet, al., (2012) establish a new approach for
heartbeat classification based on a mixtureofmorphological
and dynamic features. Wavelet transform and independent
component analysis (ICA) are applied individually to each
heartbeat to extort morphological features. Besides, RR
interval information is computed to provide dynamic
features. These two dissimilar types of features are
concatenated and a support vector machine classifier is
make use of for the classification of heartbeats keen on one
of 16 classes. The procedure is self-regulatingly applied to
the data from two ECG leads and the two decisions are
combined for the final classification decision.
Banerjee et, al., (2014) put forward a cross wavelet
transform (XWT) for the analysis and classification of
electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The cross-correlation
flanked by two time-domain signals gives a measure of alike
between two waveforms. Theapplicationofthecontinuous
wavelet transform to two-time series and the cross-
examination of the two decompositions expose confined
similarities in time and frequency. RelevanceoftheXWTtoa
pair of data acquiesces wavelet cross-spectrum (WCS) and
wavelet coherence (WCOH). The proposed algorithm
examines ECG data utilizing XWT and surveys the resulting
spectral differences.
Kiranyazet, al., (2016) presents a simple and reliable
classification and monitoring system for patient-specific
electrocardiogram (ECG). Methods: An adaptive
accomplishment of 1-D convolutional neural networks
(CNNs) where feature extraction and classification are
obtained by combining the two foremost blocks of the ECG
classification into a distinct learning body. Therefore, for
each patient, using relatively small common and patient-
specific training data, an individual and simple CNN will be
trained and thus, such patient-specific feature extraction
ability can additionally improve the classification
performance. Since this also contradicts the necessity to
extort hand-crafted manual features, once a devoted CNN is
trained for a exacting patient, it can exclusively be used to
classify probably long ECG statistics stream in a fast and
accurate manner or alternatively, such a resolution can
suitablely use for real-time ECG monitoring and premature
alert organization on a light-weight wearable device.
III. SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
In this project, to present a quality-aware ECG beat
classification method for unsupervised ECG monitoring
applications. It consists of three major stages:
A. The ECG signal quality assessment (ECG-SQA) based on
whether it is “acceptable” or “unacceptable” and preceding
adapted complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition
(CEEMD) and temporal features,
B. The ECG signal reconstruction andR-peak detectionand
C. The ECG beat classification including the ECG beat
extraction beat alignment and Random Forest (RF) based
beat classification. The ECG signal quality assessment was
implemented based on the modified CEEMD algorithm and
temporal features such as the number of zero crossings
(NZC), maximum absolute amplitude (MAA),andshort-term
NZC envelope as described in our previous work. In the
second stage, the acceptable ECG signals are further
processed for classifying the ECG beats present in the ECG
signal. In the third stage, the heartbeat classification is
performed usingtheRF-basedclassificationsimilaritymetric
score which is computed between a test heartbeat template
and the reference templates that are stored in the heartbeat
database.
Fig.1 Proposed system
A simplified block diagram of the proposed quality-aware
ECG beat classification method is illustrated in Fig.3.1 which
consists of five steps: modified CEEMD based ECG
decomposition, the CEEMD based ECG signal quality
assessment, the combined R-peak detection and ECG
enhancement, R-peak alignment andtheECGbeatextraction
and the beat similarity matching by random forest classifier.
1. COMPLETE ENSEMBLE EMPIRICAL MODE
DECOMPOSITION (CEEMD)
The CEEMD is a data-dependent method of decomposing a
signal into some oscillatory components, known as intrinsic
mode functions (IMFs).EMDdoesnotmakeanyassumptions
about the stationarity or linearity of the data. The aim of
EMD is to decompose a signal into a number of IMFs, each
one of them satisfying the two basic conditions: 1) the
number of extrema or zero-crossings must be the same or
differ by at most one; 2) at any point, the average value of
the envelope defined by local maxima and the envelope
defined by the local minima is zero. Given that we have a
signal, the calculation of its IMFs involves the following
steps:

the decomposition, the original signal can be represented as
follows:
where M is the number of IMFs, ܿ݉()ݐis the th IMF and
ݎܯ()ݐis the final residue.
Analytic Representation of IMFs
After IMFs have been extracted from EEG signals their
analytical representation is obtained. This representation
eliminates the DC offset from the signal spectral portion,
which is an essential part of compensating for the non-
stationary nature of the signals. Given that we have an IMF

EMD of the signal, the IMFs are used for feature extraction
purposes.
2. FEATURE EXTRACTION
The rationale of the feature extraction process is to choose
and retain appropriate information from the original signal.
The Feature Extraction stage extracts analytical information
from the ECG signal. In order to discover the peaks, specific
details of the signal are elected. In feature extraction,
detection of the R peak is the first step . The R peak in the
Modified Lead II (MLII) lead signal hasthehighestamplitude
of all waves compared to other leads. The QRS complex
recognition consists of the influential R point of the
heartbeat, which is, in general,thepoint wheretheheartbeat
has the highest amplitude.Anormal QRScomplexdesignates
that the electrical impulse has progressed usually from the
bundle of His to the Purkinje network through the right and
left bundle branches and that the right and left ventricles
normal depolarization occurs. Most of the energy of the QRS
complex lies among 3 Hz and 40 Hz. The 3-dB frequencies of
the Fourier Transform of the waveletsdesignatethatmost of
the energy of the QRS complex lies among scales of 23 and
24, with the largest at 25. The energy decreases ifthescaleis
larger than 25. The energy of motion objects and baseline
wander (i.e., noise) enlarges for scales superior than 25.
Therefore, we decide to use distinctive scales of 21 to 25 for
the wavelet. In the anticipated algorithm ECG signal is
squared after eradicating noise (e. g .baseline wander) and
decomposed up to level 5 using Db 4 wavelet thus
extrication approximate anddetail coefficients.Theninverse
Discrete Wavelet transform is applied to recreate the signal
inexactly. Then number of QRS complex wavelet transform
features was extorted by selecting a window of -300ms to
+400ms about the R wave as found in the database
annotation. The 252-illustrationvectorsweredownsampled
to 21, 25, 31, 42 or 63 samples (corresponding to 12࢞, 10࢞,
8࢞, 6࢞, 4࢞ decimation, respectively), and normalized to a
mean of zero and standard deviation of unity. This reduced
the DC offset and eradicated theamplitudevariancesince file
to file. QRS width is computed from the onset and the offset
of the QRS complex. The onset is the inauguration of the Q
wave and the offset is the finale of the S wave. Normally, the
onset of the QRS complex consists the high-frequency
components, which are recognised at finer scales.
Temporal Statistic features
Researchers have shown that IMF's statistical features are
useful in distinguishing between normal and abnormal EEG
signals. Its use is driven by the fact that the sample
distribution in the data is characterized by its asymmetry,
dispersion and concentration around the mean. A visual
examination of the IMFs collected from healthy patients and
patients with epilepsy during interictal and ictal cycles after
Hilbert transforms shows that they are very different.
Ironically, using the IMF data,certainvariations arecorrectly
recorded. For an IMF, these statistics can be obtained by the
following quantities:
Where ܰ is the number of samples in the IMFߤݐis the mean,
ߪݐ is the variance and ߚݐ is skewness of the corresponding
IMF.

The detection algorithm contains of four stages. In the first
point, band pass filtering and differentiation is usedto boost
QRS complexes and reduce out - of-band noise.Inthesecond
stage to obtain a positive-valued feature signal which
comprises large candidate peaks corresponding to the QRS
complex regions a new nonlinear transformation basis on
energy thresholding, Shannon energy computation, and
smoothing processes was introduced. The energy
thresholding minimises the effect ofspuriousnoisespikes as
of muscle artifacts. The Shannon energy transformation
amplifies average amplitudes and outcomes in small
deviations among successive peaks. Therefore, the
anticipated nonlinear transformation is capable of
minimizing the number of false positivesandfalse-negatives
under small-QRS and wide-QRS complexes and noisy ECG
signals. A simple peak-finding strategy based on the first-
order Gaussian differentiator (FOGD) is proposed in the
third stage that accurately identifies locations of candidate
R-peaks in a feature signal. This juncture computes the
convolution of the smooth featuresignal andFOGDoperator.
The resultant convolution output has the candidate peaksof
feature signal , negative zero-crossings (ZCs) suitable to the
anti-symmetric nature of the FOGD operator. Thus, these
negative ZCS are perceived and used as channels to find
locations of real R-peaks in an original signal at the fourth
stage.
4. RANDOM FOREST CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHM
Random Forest isa popularmachinelearningalgorithm used
for several types of classification tasks. A RandomForestisa
tree-structured classificator ensemble.Thatforesttreegives
a unit vote which assigns that input to the most likely class
label. It is a fast method, robust to noise and it is a successful
ensemble that can identify non-linear patterns in the data.
It can handle numeric as well as categorical data easily. One
of the major advantages of Random Forest is that it does not
suffer from over fitting, even if more trees are appended to
the forest.
Each tree is constructed using the following algorithm:
1. Let N and M the number of training cases and the
number of variables in the classifier
2. m the number of input variables to beusedtodetermine
the decision at a node of the tree; m should be much less
than M.
3. Prefer a training set for this tree by choosing n times
with replacement from all N offered training cases (i.e.
take a bootstrap sample). Use the rest of the cases to
approximation the error of the tree, by envisaging their
classes.
4. For each node of the tree, at random prefer m variables
on which to base the decision at that node. Calculate the
best split anchored in these m variables in the training
set.
5. Each tree is entirely developed and not shortend (as
may be done in constructing a normal tree classifier).
For prophecy, a new sample is short of down the tree. The
label of the training sample is assigned in the terminal node
it ends up in. This procedure is iterated over all trees in the
collection, and the average vote of all trees is statemented as
random forest prediction.

CONCLUSION
In this project, we present a new quality-aware ECG beat
classification method that can be capable of reducing the
false alarms and ensuring the consistency of class-specific
accuracies for the four classes of heartbeatsunder noisyECG
recordings. Evaluation results on the standard MIT-BIH
arrhythmia database demonstrate that the preservation of
QRS complexes is most essential for improving the beat
classification when the denoising process is applied for
suppression of background noises. Classification results
show that the proposed random forest heartbeat
classification method improves the consistency with
improved classification accuracy and F1-score. For each of
the heartbeat classes, the proposed and existing heartbeat
classification methods had significant improvement in the
false alarm reduction (FAR). Results further demonstrate
that a quality-aware ECG analysis systemismostessential to
ensure the accuracy and reliability of the diagnosis of
different types of arrhythmias under noisy ECG recording
environments.
