Abstract

A process is described, using the concept of 2D motifs and 2D discords, to build classification models to classify Cardiovascular Disease using Electrocardiogram (ECG) data as the primary input. The motivation is that existing techniques typically first transform ECG data into a 1D signal (waveform) format and then extract a small number of features from this format for classification purposes. It is argued here that this transformation results in missing data, and that the consequent feature selection means that only a small part of the original ECG data is utilised. The approach proposed in this paper works directly with the image format, no transformation takes place. Instead, motifs and discords are extracted from the raw data and used as features in a homogeneous feature vector representation. The reported evaluation demonstrates that more effective classification results than that which can be achieved using the waveform format. The proposed 2D motif and discord extraction mechanism is fully described. The proposed process was evaluated using three distinct ECG data sets. A best accuracy of 85% was obtained, compared with a best accuracy of 68.48% using a comparable 1D waveform approach.
