Domain Knowledge Based Temporal-Spatial Graph Convolution Network for ECG Recognition

In light of strides in Arti cial Intelligence (AI) and its wide spread application, challenges persist in the interpretability of AI models, particularly within specialized domains like healthcare, such as electro cardiograph (ECG) recognition. Rather than relying solely on end-to-end convolutional neural networks, this paper introduces a novel approach using a domain knowledge-based graph convolution network for ECG recognition. Key landmarks points of PRQST, vital to ECG interpreta tion, are incorporated as domain knowledge. The double-stream directed graph is employed to model both intra and inter ECG cycles. Speci cally, spatial directed graphs capture the positional relationships among key points, while temporal directed graphs delineate temporal dependencies between adjacent cycles in extended ECG sequences. Experimental re sults on the First Chinese ECG Intelligent Competition dataset, which speci cally classify ECG into nine categories, prove the e cacy of the proposed model. The overall average F1 score is 88.1%, the average F1 score of rare categories is 76.3%, both outperform the state-of-the-art models. The introduction of domain knowledge did enhance the detec tion performance, especially for rare categories.

From 2D to 3D Cognition: A Brief Survey of General World Models

World models have garnered increasing attention in the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), serving as computational frameworks for learning representations of the external world and forecasting future states. While early efforts focused on 2D visual perception and simulation, recent 3D-aware generative world models have demonstrated the ability to synthesize geometrically consistent, interactive 3D environments, marking a shift toward 3D spatial cognition. Despite rapid progress, the field lacks systematic analysis to categorize emerging techniques and clarify their roles in advancing 3D cognitive world models. This survey addresses this need by introducing a conceptual framework, providing a structured and forward-looking review of world models transitioning from 2D perception to 3D cognition. Within this framework, we highlight two key technological drivers, particularly advances in 3D representations and the incorporation of world knowledge, as fundamental pillars. Building on these, we dissect three core cognitive capabilities that underpin 3D world modeling: 3D physical scene generation, 3D spatial reasoning, and 3D spatial interaction. We further examine the deployment of these capabilities in real-world applications, including embodied AI, autonomous driving, digital twin, and gaming/VR. Finally, we identify challenges across data, modeling, and deployment, and outline future directions for advancing more robust and generalizable 3D world models.
