*Construe* is a knowledge-based abductive framework for time series interpretation. It provides a knowledge representation model and a set of algorithms for the interpretation of temporal information, implementing a hypothesize-and-test cycle guided by an attentional mechanism. The framework is fully described in the following paper:

[1]: T. Teijeiro and P. Félix: *On the adoption of abductive reasoning for time series interpretation*, 2016, [arXiv:1609.05632](http://arxiv.org/abs/1609.05632).
[1]: T. Teijeiro and P. Félix: *On the adoption of abductive reasoning for time series interpretation*, Artificial Intelligence, 2018, vol. 262, p. 163-188. [DOI:10.1016/j.artint.2018.06.005](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.artint.2018.06.005).

In this repository you will find the complete implementation of the data model and the algorithms, as well as a knowledge base for the interpretation of multi-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, from the basic waveforms (P, QRS, T) to complex rhythm patterns (Atrial fibrillation, Bigeminy, Trigeminy, Ventricular flutter/fibrillation, etc.). In addition, we provide some utility scripts to reproduce the interpretation of all the ECG strips shown in paper [1], and to allow the interpretation of any ECG record in the [MIT-BIH format](https://www.physionet.org/faq.shtml#file_types) with a command-line interface very similar to that of the [WFDB applications](https://physionet.org/physiotools/wfdb.shtml).



Additionally, the repository includes an algorithm for [automatic heartbeat classification on ECG signals](Beat_Classification.md), described in the paper:

[DOI: 10.1109/JBHI.2016.2631247](https://doi.org/10.1109/JBHI.2016.2631247) .



The *Construe* algorithm is also the basis for the arrhythmia classification method described in the following papers:

[3]: T. Teijeiro, C.A. García, D. Castro and P. Félix: *Arrhythmia Classification from the Abductive Interpretation of Short Single-Lead ECG Records*, Computing in Cardiology, 2017, vol. 44, p. 1-4. [DOI: 10.22489/CinC.2017.166-054](https://doi.org/10.22489/CinC.2017.166-054).

This method won the First Prize in the [Physionet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2017](https://physionet.org/challenge/2017), providing the best results in Atrial Fibrillation detection among the 75 participating teams.
