We study the problem of experiment design to learn causal structures from interventional data. We consider an active learning setting in which the experimenter decides to intervene on one of the variables in the system in each step and uses the results of the intervention to recover further causal relationships among the variables. The goal is to fully identify the causal structures with minimum number of interventions.

This paper presents a novel ECG classification algorithm for inclusion as part of real-time cardiac monitoring systems in ultra low-power wearable devices. The proposed solution is based on spiking neural networks which are the third generation of neural networks. In specific, we employ spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP), and reward-modulated STDP (R-STDP), in which the model weights are trained according to the timings of spike signals, and reward or punishment signals.

Objective: A novel electrocardiogram (ECG) classification algorithm is proposed for continuous cardiac monitoring on wearable devices with limited processing capacity.
Methods: The proposed solution employs a novel architecture consisting of wavelet transform and multiple long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks (see Fig. 1).
