Domain Generalization for ECG Arrhythmia Localization

RIT Capstone · Prof. Linwei Wang

Dec 2024

# problem: ECG models collapse across hospitals. Different leads, sampling rates and patient distributions degrade arrhythmia localization.
# approach: Implemented DANN and MMD for cross-domain feature alignment on a proprietary clinical & simulation ECG time-series dataset.
# result: +30% over a VAE baseline on out-of-distribution arrhythmia localization. Demonstrated that adversarial alignment beats generative reconstruction for medical time-series transfer.

# problem: Neuroevolution on large-scale flight telemetry requires distributed search across parameter spaces too costly for single-node runs.
# approach: Developed C++ components for EXAMM's master-worker distributed architecture, including genome encoding and crossover operators; implemented fitness evaluation pipelines for RNN search on multivariate flight time-series.
# result: Parallelized architecture search across compute nodes; evolved compact RNNs suitable for edge deployment with constrained compute resources.

Jan 2026

# problem: Aerial perception models fail in adverse conditions (fog, low-light, rain) where ground-truth data is scarce.
# approach: Engineered a synthetic-data platform domain-shifting 48+ aerial sequences via NVIDIA Cosmos-Transfer2.5, with a checkpoint-resume orchestrator validating 47K+ annotations.
# result: Repeatable pipeline for adverse-condition augmentation, enabling controlled ablations on weather-domain transfer.
