deepecgkit 0.2.0

A deep learning toolkit for ECG analysis

DeepECG-Kit

A pure-PyTorch deep learning library for ECG analysis and arrhythmia classification. Provides a CLI for training, evaluation, and inference across multiple model architectures and ECG datasets.

Install with pip install deepecgkit, or for local development clone the repo and run pip install -e ".[dev]".

Usage

deepecg train -m kanres -d af-classification    # train (auto-downloads dataset)
deepecg evaluate --checkpoint model.ckpt -d af-classification
deepecg predict --checkpoint model.ckpt --input ecg.npy
deepecg resume --checkpoint model.ckpt --epochs 100
deepecg list-models                              # list available models/datasets
deepecg list-datasets
deepecg info -m kanres

Models: afmodel, convnext-v2, crnn, deep-res-cnn, dualnet, fcn-wang, gru, inception-time, kanres, kanres-deep, lstm, mamba, medformer, resnet, resnet-wang, se-resnet, simple-cnn, tcn, transformer, xresnet, xresnet1d-benchmark

Datasets: af-classification (1-lead, 4-class, PhysioNet 2017), ptbxl (12-lead, 5 superclasses, multi-label), mitbih-afdb (2-lead, binary/4-class, MIT-BIH AFDB), ltafdb (2-lead, binary/4-class, Long-Term AFDB), unified-af (1-lead, 4-class, combined cross-dataset).

Experiments

Experiments are defined in experiments.yaml and run via python scripts/run_experiments.py. Each experiment trains a model on a dataset using the CLI under the hood. Results save to runs/{timestamp}-{model}-{dataset}/ with checkpoints (top 3 by val_loss), training plots, and test evaluation (confusion matrix, classification report).
