SL-S4Wave: Self-Supervised Learning of Physiological Waveforms with Structured State Space Models

arXiv:2606.19888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modeling long-sequence medical time series data, such as electrocardiograms (ECG), poses significant challenges due to high sampling rates, multichannel signal complexity, inherent noise, and limited labeled data. While recent self-supervised learning (SSL) methods, based on various encoder architectures such as convolutional neural networks, have been proposed to learn representations from unlabeled data, they often fall short in capturing long-range dependencies and noise-invariant features. Structured state space models (S4) excel at long-sequ
The continuous advancements in AI, particularly self-supervised learning, are pushing the boundaries of what is possible with complex time-series data like physiological waveforms.
This development allows for more accurate and robust analysis of medical data, circumventing challenges like limited labeled data and noise, which can lead to significant improvements in diagnostics and personalized medicine.
The ability to effectively model long-sequence medical time series using structured state space models (S4) will enable more reliable and autonomous AI applications in healthcare.
