Thus, we propose a intermediate fusion strategy for combining low-rank tensor fusion with the cross-modal attention to enhance the fusion of electroencephalogram, electrooculogram, electromyography, and galvanic skin response.

Subsequently, low-rank tensor is fused to integrate the information by the modality interaction representation. Finally, a cross-modal attention module is employed to explore the potential relationships between the distinct latent features and modality interaction representation, and recalibrate the weights of different modalities.

This study examines the value of ventricular repolarization using QT dynamicity for two different types of atrial fibrillation (AF) prediction.<i>Approach</i>. We studied the importance of QT-dynamicity (1) in the detection and (2) the onset prediction (i.e. forecasting) of paroxysmal AF episodes using gradient-boosted decision trees (GBDT), an interpretable machine learning technique. We labeled 176 paroxysmal AF onsets from 88 patients in our unselected Holter recordings database containing paroxysmal AF episodes. Raw ECG signals were delineated using a wavelet-based signal processing technique. A total of 44 ECG features related to interval and wave durations and amplitude were selected and the GBDT model was trained with a Bayesian hyperparameters selection for various windows. The dataset was split into two parts at the patient level, meaning that the recordings from each patient were only present in either the train or test set, but not both. We used 80% on the database for the training and the remaining 20% for the test of the trained model. The model was evaluated using 5-fold cross-validation.<i>Main results.</i>The mean age of the patients was 75.9 ± 11.9 (range 50-99), the number of episodes per patient was 2.3 ± 2.2 (range 1-11), and CHA2DS2-VASc score was 2.9 ± 1.7 (range 1-9).

R wave amplitude and QT dynamicity as assessed by Spearman's correlation of the QT-RR slope were the best predictors.<i>Significance</i>. The QT dynamicity can be used to accurately predict the onset of AF episodes. Ventricular repolarization, as assessed by QT dynamicity, adds information that allows for better short time prediction of AF onset, compared to relying only on RR intervals and heart rate variability.
