Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Develop a signal quality index (SQI) to determine the quality of compressively sensed electrocardiogram (ECG) by estimating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). METHODS: The SQI used random forests, with the ratio of the standard deviations of an ECG segment and a clean ECG and the Wasserstein metric between the amplitude distributions of an ECG segment and a clean ECG, as features. The SQI was tested using the Long-Term Atrial Fibrillation Database (LTAFDB) and the PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2011 Database Set A (CinCDB). Clean ECG segments from the LTAFDB were corrupted using simulated motion artifact, with preset SNR between -12 dB and 12 dB. The CinCDB was used as-it-is. The databases were compressively sensed using three types of sensing matrices at three compression ratios (50%, 75%, and 95%). For LTAFDB, the RMSE and Spearman correlation between the SQI and the preset SNR were used for evaluation, while for CinCDB, accuracy and F1 score were used. RESULTS: The average RMSE was 3.18 dB and 3.47 dB in normal and abnormal ECG. The average Spearman correlation was 0.94 and 0.93 in normal and abnormal ECG, respectively. The average accuracy and F1 score were 0.90 and 0.88, respectively. CONCLUSION: The SQI determined the quality of compressively sensed ECG and generalized across different databases. There was no consequential effect on the SQI due to abnormal ECG or compression using different sensing matrices and compression ratios. SIGNIFICANCE: Without reconstruction, the SQI can inform which ECG should be analyzed to reduce false alarms due to contamination.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
