Angular Gaussian Supervised Contrastive Learning for Long-Tailed Electrocardiogram Arrhythmia Diagnosis

Long-tailed label distributions reduce the reliability of deep learning for electrocardiogram (ECG) arrhythmia diagnosis, particularly for clinically important but rare abnormalities. Existing rebalancing and logit adjustment methods mainly address class frequency while overlooking direction-dependent morphological variability across ECG classes. This study proposes Angular Gaussian Supervised Contrastive Learning (AG-SCL) for long-tailed multi-label ECG diagnosis. AG-SCL integrates three components into a unified framework: an Angular Gaussian contrastive branch that models full-covariance class uncertainty on unit-normalized embeddings, Adaptive Logit Adjustment that learns bounded label-state-specific prior corrections instead of fixed frequency-based margins, and tail-aware augmentation that generates morphology-preserving views while protecting the 7-25 Hz QRS-dominant band. The method was evaluated on the public PTB-XL benchmark and a nocturnal ECG dataset comprising 1317 hours of recordings from 141 subjects. AG-SCL achieved the best macro-level performance on both datasets. On PTB-XL, it obtained a balanced accuracy of 0.838, sensitivity of 0.709, specificity of 0.968, mean average precision of 0.495, and TPR at 5% FPR of 0.778. On Noc-ECG, the corresponding values were 0.918, 0.889, 0.947, 0.488, and 0.900. The largest gains occurred in rare or morphologically unstable rhythm classes, while ablation studies confirmed the contributions of full-covariance modelling, Adaptive Logit Adjustment, and tail-aware augmentation. AG-SCL improves long-tailed ECG diagnosis by combining prior calibration with anisotropic representation learning, enhancing sensitivity to rare arrhythmias while maintaining clinically relevant specificity.

Understanding of Task-specific and Subject-specific Components in Surface EMG

Surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals are widely used in human-machine interfaces for gesture recognition and user identification, but existing models often struggle to generalize across individuals due to subject-specific neuromuscular characteristics. This study introduces a disentanglement model that separates task-specific and subject-specific components from sEMG signals, thereby improving the generalization and interpretability of gesture recognition and user identification systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the disentangled components significantly improve the accuracy of both gesture classification and user identification across subjects and days, outperforming conventional methods under the same experimental conditions. Further analysis reveals that the task-specific components capture consistent activation patterns associated with the same gestures across individuals. In contrast, the subject-specific components reflect unique neuromuscular characteristics that can be used for user identification. Notably, the subject-specific components show lower similarity across days than the task-specific components, contributing to a greater decrease in user identification accuracy than in gesture recognition accuracy. These findings suggest that the disentanglement approach not only improves classification performance but also provides deeper insights into the physiological mechanisms underlying sEMG signals. The model's ability to isolate and interpret different neuromuscular components holds promise for enhancing the robustness of sEMG-based applications in real-world settings, including rehabilitation and user authentication.

EMGFlow: Robust and Efficient Surface Electromyography Synthesis via Flow Matching

Deep learning-based surface electromyography (sEMG) gesture recognition is frequently bottlenecked by data scarcity and limited subject diversity. While synthetic data generation via Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and diffusion models has emerged as a promising augmentation strategy, these approaches often face challenges regarding training stability or inference efficiency. To bridge this gap, we propose EMGFlow, a conditional sEMG generation framework. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the application of Flow Matching (FM) and continuous-time generative modeling in the sEMG domain. To validate EMGFlow across three benchmark sEMG datasets, we employ a unified evaluation protocol integrating feature-based fidelity, distributional geometry, and downstream utility. Extensive evaluations show that EMGFlow outperforms conventional augmentation and GAN baselines, and provides stronger standalone utility than the diffusion baselines considered here under the train-on-synthetic test-on-real (TSTR) protocol. Furthermore, by optimizing generation dynamics through advanced numerical solvers and targeted time sampling, EMGFlow achieves improved quality-efficiency trade-offs. Taken together, these results suggest that Flow Matching is a promising and efficient paradigm for addressing data bottlenecks in myoelectric control systems.

Scalable Dexterous Robot Learning with AR-based Remote Human-Robot Interactions

This paper focuses on the scalable robot learning for manipulation in the dexterous robot arm-hand systems, where the remote human-robot interactions via augmented reality (AR) are established to collect the expert demonstration data for improving efficiency. In such a system, we present a novel method to address the general manipulation task problem. Specifically, the proposed method consists of two phases: i) In the first phase for pretraining, the policy is created in a behavior cloning (BC) manner, through leveraging the learning data from our AR-based remote human-robot interaction system; ii) In the second phase, a contrastive learning empowered reinforcement learning (RL) method is developed to obtain more efficient and robust policy than the BC, and thus a projection head is designed to accelerate the learning progress. An event-driven augmented reward is adopted for enhancing the safety. To validate the proposed method, both the physics simulations via PyBullet and real-world experiments are carried out. The results demonstrate that compared to the baselines, our method not only significantly speeds up the training process, but also achieves much better performance in terms of the success rate for fulfilling the manipulation tasks. By conducting the ablation study, it is confirmed that the proposed RL with contrastive learning overcomes policy collapse. Supplementary demonstrations are available at https://cyberyyc.github.io/.
