摘要翻译：
我们解决心电图(ECG)信号的分类问题，目的是预测阵发性心房颤动(PAF)的发作。心房颤动是最常见的心律失常类型，但在许多情况下PAF发作是无症状的。因此，为了帮助诊断PAF，设计检测和预测PAF发作的程序是很重要的。我们提出了一种预测PAF事件的方法，其第一步包括将每个ECG表示为多变量时间序列的特征提取过程。接着，我们设计了一个基于核相似度的多变量时间序列分类框架，该框架能够处理缺失数据。在多变量时间序列的原始空间和由核相似性度量定义的嵌入空间中，我们考虑了不同的分类方法。我们实现了与现有方法相媲美的分类精度，额外的优势是可以提前15分钟检测PAF的发作。

英文摘要：
  We tackle the problem of classifying Electrocardiography (ECG) signals with the aim of predicting the onset of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF). Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia, but in many cases PAF episodes are asymptomatic. Therefore, in order to help diagnosing PAF, it is important to design procedures for detecting and, more importantly, predicting PAF episodes. We propose a method for predicting PAF events whose first step consists of a feature extraction procedure that represents each ECG as a multi-variate time series. Successively, we design a classification framework based on kernel similarities for multi-variate time series, capable of handling missing data. We consider different approaches to perform classification in the original space of the multi-variate time series and in an embedding space, defined by the kernel similarity measure. We achieve a classification accuracy comparable with state of the art methods, with the additional advantage of detecting the PAF onset up to 15 minutes in advance.
