Robust Transfer Learning for Paper ECG Recognition
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.39581v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Paper ECG recognition is challenging because real-world ECG images vary in layout, physical artifacts, and label availability. We introduce RobECG-CL, a rank-aware contrastive learning framework for robust paper ECG representation learning. Starting from standard 12-lead ECG recordings, we construct progressively degraded paper ECG views with heterogeneous layouts and train the model to balance same-recording invariance with degradation-aware ordering. Across synthetic stress tests on CODE-II and EchoNext, RobECG-CL improves robustness under se

Why it matters
“Robust Transfer Learning for Paper ECG Recognition” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
