A Heart Arrhythmia Classification Method Based on Continuous Testing Time Adaptation

This invention discloses an ECG data classification method based on continuous test-time adaptation. This method improves the model's generalization ability during testing without modifying the source model's training process, accessing the source data, or requiring target domain data labels. This allows the model to adapt to constantly changing testing environments. The proposed continuous test-time adaptation ECG data classification method mitigates catastrophic forgetting by restoring some model parameters to their original source parameters during the test-time adaptation process, without affecting model performance. The ECG data preprocessing method used in this invention is simple and does not require noise filtering or feature extraction. Traditional ECG data preprocessing methods heavily rely on the researcher's experience and are ineffective. Due to suboptimal extracted features, the model is highly sensitive to noise signals during training.
