AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWAssessing signal quality is crucial for photoplethysmogram analysis, yet a precise mathematical model for defining signal quality is often lacking, posing challenges in the quantitative analysis. To tackle this problem, we propose a Signal Quality Index (SQI) based on the adaptive non-harmonic model (ANHM) and a Signal Quality Assessment (SQA) model, which is trained using the boosting learning algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed SQA model is tested on publicly available databases with experts annotations. Result: The DaLiA database [20] is used to train the SQA model, which achieves favorable accuracy and macro-F1 scores in other public databases (accuracy 0.83, 0.76 and 0.87 and macro-F1 0.81, 0.75 and 0.87 for DaLiA-testing dataset, TROIKA dataset [31], and WESAD dataset [23], respectively). This preliminary result shows that the ANHM model and the model-based SQI have potential for establishing an interpretable SQA system.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
