An Electrocardiogram (ECG) graphically records changes in electrical potentials between different sites on the skin due to cardiac activity. The heart's electrical activity is a depolarization and depolarization sequence. ECGs help in identifying cardiac arrhythmia because they have diagnostic information. ECG arrhythmia detection accuracy improves by using machine learning and data mining methods. This study proposes multi-layer perceptron neural network optimization using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to classify ECG arrhythmia. Symlet extracts RR intervals from ECG data as features while symmetric uncertainty assures feature reduction. GA optimizes learning rate and momentum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
