ECG Heartbeat Classification Based on an Improved ResNet-18 Model

Table 4

Performance comparison of different classification models, in terms of overall accuracy.

ModelOverall accuracy (%)

Ensemble learning [11]94.20
BbNNs [18]94.49 (calculated by us, based on the confusion matrix provided in [18])
End-to-end DNN [15]94.70 (as the proportion of classes F and Q in the MIT-BIH data set is very small (less than 1%), these two classes have insignificant contribution to the overall performance and so they were not included in the calculation of the overall accuracy presented in [15])
1D-CNN [10]95.13 (calculated by us, based on the confusion matrix provided in [10])
Improved ResNet-18 (the proposed model)96.50
