Investigation of Applying Machine Learning and Hyperparameter Tuned Deep Learning Approaches for Arrhythmia Detection in ECG Images

The level of patient's illness is determined by diagnosing the problem through different methods like physically examining patients, lab test data, and history of patient and by experience. To treat the patient, proper diagnosis is very much important. Arrhythmias are irregular variations in normal heart rhythm, and detecting them manually takes a long time and relies on clinical skill. Currently machine learning and deep learning models are used to automate the diagnosis by capturing unseen patterns from datasets. This research work concentrates on data expansion using augmentation technique which increases the dataset size by generating different images. The proposed system develops a medical diagnosis system which can be used to classify arrhythmia into different categories. Initially, machine learning techniques like…
