SIGMA-PPG: Statistical-prior Informed Generative Masking Architecture for PPG Foundation Model

Zongheng Guo, Tao Chen, Yang Jiao +3

Current foundation model for photoplethysmography (PPG) signals is challenged by the intrinsic redundancy and noise of the signal. Standard masked modeling often yields trivial sol…
