SafeECGMatch: Calibration-Aware Joint Frequency and Time Space Semi-Supervised Learning for Open-Set ECG Classification

arXiv:2606.08037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrocardiogram (ECG) classification models often suffer from severe label scarcity, making semi-supervised learning (SSL) an attractive strategy for reducing annotation costs. In clinical settings, however, unlabeled pools frequently contain out-of-distribution (OOD) anomalies or diagnostic groups absent from the labeled set. Standard SSL forces incorrect pseudo-labels onto these unseen classes, producing overconfident predictions. To address this, we propose SafeECGMatch, a calibration-aware safe SSL framework for single-label ECG classificat
