Main Modules

Augmenters are classes (subclasses of `torch` `Module`) that perform data augmentation in a uniform way and are managed by the [`AugmenterManager`](torch_ecg/augmenters/augmenter_manager.py) (also a subclass of `torch` `Module`). Augmenters and the manager share a common signature of the `formward` method:
```python
forward(self, sig:Tensor, label:Optional[Tensor]=None, *extra_tensors:Sequence[Tensor], **kwargs:Any) -> Tuple[Tensor, ...]:
```
The following augmenters are implemented:
1. baseline wander (adding sinusoidal and gaussian noises)
2. cutmix
3. mixup
4. random flip
5. random masking
6. random renormalize
7. stretch-or-compress (scaling)
8. label smooth (not actually for data augmentation, but has simimlar behavior)
Usage example (this example uses all augmenters except cutmix, each with default config):
```python
import torch
from torch_ecg.cfg import CFG
from torch_ecg.augmenters import AugmenterManager
config = CFG(
random=False,
fs=500,
baseline_wander={},
label_smooth={},
mixup={},
random_flip={},
random_masking={},
random_renormalize={},
stretch_compress={},
)
am = AugmenterManager.from_config(config)
sig, label, mask = torch.rand(2,12,5000), torch.rand(2,26), torch.rand(2,5000,1)
sig, label, mask = am(sig, label, mask)
```
Augmenters can be stochastic along the batch dimension and (or) the channel dimension (ref. the `get_indices` method of the [`Augmenter`](torch_ecg/augmenters/base.py) base class).

Also [preprecessors](torch_ecg/_preprocessors) acting on `numpy` `array`s. Similarly, preprocessors are monitored by a manager
```python
import torch
from torch_ecg.cfg import CFG
from torch_ecg._preprocessors import PreprocManager
config = CFG(
random=False,
resample={"fs": 500},
bandpass={},
normalize={},
)
ppm = PreprocManager.from_config(config)
sig = torch.rand(12,80000).numpy()
sig, fs = ppm(sig, 200)
```
The following preprocessors are implemented
1. baseline removal (detrend)
2. normalize (z-score, min-max, naïve)
3. bandpass
4. resample
For more examples, see the [README file](torch_ecg/preprocessors/README.md)) of the `preprecessors` module.

This module include classes that manipulate the io of the ECG signals and labels in an ECG database, and maintains metadata (statistics, paths, plots, list of records, etc.) of it. This module is migrated and improved from [DeepPSP/database_reader](https://github.com/DeepPSP/database_reader)
After migration, all should be tested again, the progression:

NOTE that these classes should not be confused with a `torch` `Dataset`, which is strongly related to the task (or the model). However, one can build `Dataset`s based on these classes, for example the [`Dataset`](benchmarks/train_hybrid_cpsc2021/dataset.py) for the The 4th China Physiological Signal Challenge 2021 (CPSC2021).
One can use the built-in `Dataset`s in [`torch_ecg.databases.datasets`](torch_ecg/databases/datasets) as follows
```python
from torch_ecg.databases.datasets.cinc2021 import CINC2021Dataset, CINC2021TrainCfg
config = deepcopy(CINC2021TrainCfg)
config.db_dir = "some/path/to/db"
dataset = CINC2021Dataset(config, training=True, lazy=False)
```

1. CRNN, both for classification and sequence tagging (segmentation)
2. U-Net
3. RR-LSTM
A typical signature of the instantiation (`__init__`) function of a model is as follows
```python
__init__(self, classes:Sequence[str], n_leads:int, config:Optional[CFG]=None, **kwargs:Any) -> None
```
if a `config` is not specified, then the default config will be used (stored in the [`model_configs`](torch_ecg/model_configs) module).
#### Quick Example
A quick example is as follows:
```python
import torch
from torch_ecg.utils.utils_nn import adjust_cnn_filter_lengths
from torch_ecg.model_configs import ECG_CRNN_CONFIG
from torch_ecg.models.ecg_crnn import ECG_CRNN
config = adjust_cnn_filter_lengths(ECG_CRNN_CONFIG, fs=400)
# change the default CNN backbone
# bottleneck with global context attention variant of Nature Communications ResNet
config.cnn.name="resnet_nature_comm_bottle_neck_gc"
classes = ["NSR", "AF", "PVC", "SPB"]
n_leads = 12
model = ECG_CRNN(classes, n_leads, config)
model(torch.rand(2, 12, 4000)) # signal length 4000, batch size 2
```
Then a model for the classification of 4 classes, namely "NSR", "AF", "PVC", "SPB", on 12-lead ECGs is created. One can check the size of a model, in terms of the number of parameters via
```python
model.module_size
```
or in terms of memory consumption via
```python
model.module_size_
```
#### Custom Model
One can adjust the configs to create a custom model. For example, the building blocks of the 4 stages of a `TResNet` backbone are `basic`, `basic`, `bottleneck`, `bottleneck`. If one wants to change the second block to be a `bottleneck` block with sequeeze and excitation (`SE`) attention, then
```python
from copy import deepcopy
from torch_ecg.models.ecg_crnn import ECG_CRNN
from torch_ecg.model_configs import (
ECG_CRNN_CONFIG,
tresnetF, resnet_bottle_neck_se,
)
my_resnet = deepcopy(tresnetP)
my_resnet.building_block[1] = "bottleneck"
my_resnet.block[1] = resnet_bottle_neck_se
```
The convolutions in a `TResNet` are anti-aliasing convolutions, if one wants further to change the convolutions to normal convolutions, then
```python
for b in my_resnet.block:
b.conv_type = None
```
or change them to separable convolutions via
```python
for b in my_resnet.block:
b.conv_type = "separable"
```
Finally, replace the default CNN backbone via
```python
my_model_config = deepcopy(ECG_CRNN_CONFIG)
my_model_config.cnn.name = "my_resnet"
my_model_config.cnn.my_resnet = my_resnet
model = ECG_CRNN(["NSR", "AF", "PVC", "SPB"], 12, my_model_config)
```

This module consists of frequently used components such as loggers, trainers, etc.
#### [Loggers](torch_ecg/components/loggers.py)
Loggers including
1. CSV logger
2. text logger
3. tensorboard logger
are implemented and manipulated uniformly by a manager.
#### [Outputs](torch_ecg/components/outputs.py)
The `Output` classes implemented in this module serve as containers for ECG downstream task model outputs, including
- `ClassificationOutput`
- `MultiLabelClassificationOutput`
- `SequenceTaggingOutput`
- `WaveDelineationOutput`
- `RPeaksDetectionOutput`
each having some required fields (keys), and is able to hold an arbitrary number of custom fields. These classes are useful for the computation of metrics.
#### [Metrics](torch_ecg/components/metrics.py)
This module has the following pre-defined (built-in) `Metrics` classes:
- `ClassificationMetrics`
- `RPeaksDetectionMetrics`
- `WaveDelineationMetrics`
These metrics are computed according to either [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall), or some published literatures.
#### [Trainer](torch_ecg/components/trainer.py)
An abstract base class `BaseTrainer` is implemented, in which some common steps in building a training pipeline (workflow) are impemented. A few task specific methods are assigned as `abstractmethod`s, for example the method
```python
evaluate(self, data_loader:DataLoader) -> Dict[str, float]
```
for evaluation on the validation set during training and perhaps further for model selection and early stopping.

Usage Examples

See case studies in the [benchmarks folder](benchmarks/).
a large part of the case studies are migrated from other DeepPSP repositories, some are implemented in the old fasion, being inconsistent with the new system architecture of `torch_ecg`, hence need updating and testing

[^1]: Although `CinC2022` dealt with acoustic cardiac signals (phonocardiogram, PCG), the tasks and signals can be treated similarly.
Taking [CPSC2021](benchmarks/train_hybrid_cpsc2021) for example, the steps are
1. Write a [`Dataset`](benchmarks/train_hybrid_cpsc2021/dataset.py) to fit the training data for the model(s) and the training workflow. Or directly use the built-in `Dataset`s in [`torch_ecg.databases.datasets`](torch_ecg/databases/datasets). In this example, 3 tasks are considered, 2 of which use a [`MaskedBCEWithLogitsLoss`](torch_ecg/models/loss.py) function, hence the `Dataset` produces an extra tensor for these 2 tasks
```python
def __getitem__(self, index:int) -> Tuple[np.ndarray, ...]:
if self.lazy:
if self.task in ["qrs_detection"]:
return self.fdr[index][:2]
else:
return self.fdr[index]
else:
if self.task in ["qrs_detection"]:
return self._all_data[index], self._all_labels[index]
else:
return self._all_data[index], self._all_labels[index], self._all_masks[index]
```
2. Inherit a [base model](torch_ecg/models/ecg_seq_lab_net.py) to create [task specific models](benchmarks/train_hybrid_cpsc2021/model.py), along with [tailored model configs](benchmarks/train_hybrid_cpsc2021/cfg.py)
3. Inherit the [`BaseTrainer`](torch_ecg/components/trainer.py) to build the [training pipeline](benchmarks/train_hybrid_cpsc2021/trainer.py), with the `abstractmethod`s (`_setup_dataloaders`, `run_one_step`, `evaluate`, `batch_dim`, etc.) implemented.

CAUTION
For the most of the time, but not always, after updates, I will run the notebooks in the benchmarks manually. If someone finds some bug, please raise an issue. The test workflow is to be enhanced and automated, see this project.
