New Year, New Architecture: Setting the Stage on HiperGator

This week, Team Aventusoft hit the ground running with a clear mission: adapting the ECG-FM foundation model for single-lead application.

Our main focus was solving the distribution mismatch challenge. After evaluating our initial approach, we finalized a revised technical strategy to fine-tune the model by duplicating single-lead ECG signals across 12 channels. To support this, we moved our operations to the HiperGator high-performance computing cluster. We successfully downloaded the complete MIMIC-IV-ECG dataset and installed the “fairseq-signals” framework, ironing out all the environment and dependency wrinkles along the way.

With the infrastructure in place, we implemented preprocessing scripts to generate the necessary dataset manifests. The rig is ready. Next steps include generating diagnostic labels and launching our first full-scale GPU fine-tuning run to see how our new strategy performs.
