Abstract

The classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals has become a major issue in the medical field. And the timing characteristics of RNN are superior in the diagnosis. To cope with this problem more effectively, this paper described a new deep bidirectional gated recurrent unit (DBGRU) network. The raw input data was processed by principal component analysis (PCA) and sent to the classification model to improve performance where PCA is used for data denoising and dimensionality reduction. Several other models include unidirectional long short-term memory (ULSTM), unidirectional gated recurrent unit (UGRU), convolutional neural network (CNN) and neural network (NN) are used for comparisons. The experiment has been performed for all 23 categories of arrhythmia data obtained from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The deep bidirectional GRU network was trained using the processed data and achieved a high overall accuracy of 99.51% which greatly exceeds the other four models.
