The invention discloses a heartbeat anomaly recognition algorithm based on a deep learning technology. The heartbeat anomaly recognition algorithm models a heartbeat recognition model as a sequence labeling problem, that is, the input is a series of electrocardiosignal segments corresponding to the heartbeat, and the output is the type corresponding to each heartbeat. In view of the characteristics of the heartbeat recognition task, the heartbeat anomaly recognition algorithm divides the recognition process into two phases: the characteristic extraction phase and the classification phase. Besides, the heartbeat anomaly recognition algorithm is directed to a patch-type long-range electrocardiogram device which has problems such as weak electrocardiosignal, large interference, irregular patient matching mode and the like, and is more demanding on the accuracy and stability of CAD (computer aided diagnosis). The heartbeat anomaly recognition algorithm based on a deep learning technology aims to achieve high accuracy and high robustness in heartbeat anomaly recognition in electrocardiosignal with poor signal quality and high interference by using the artificial intelligence technology,so as to greatly reduce the subsequent labor cost and shorten the cycle of generating a final conclusion.
