Ions (sodium [Na+], potassium [K+], chloride [Cl-], and calcium [Ca2+]) flow through cardiac membrane channels with pores formed by proteins, with these ion channels encoded by specific genes [3]. The pore-forming protein is called the alpha subunit, which also contains the voltage-dependent sensors and gates. For many ion channels, one or more secondary regulatory subunit proteins are present (usually named beta, gamma, delta, and so on) in association with the alpha subunit, and many ion channel proteins have subunit isoforms adding to their complexity

In the heart, the resting membrane potential is generated by the inward rectifier current (IK1), which is the predominant open channel at rest. Potassium current IK1 flowing through this channel continues until the interior negative potential is at the same magnitude as the equilibrium potential for potassium.

Action potential in fast response tissues —

Tissues that depend upon the opening of voltage-sensitive, kinetically rapid (opening in less than a millisecond) sodium channels to initiate depolarization are called fast response tissues [7].

Fast response tissues include the atria, the specialized infranodal conducting system (bundle of His, fascicles and bundle branches, and terminal Purkinje fibers), and the ventricles (figure 2), while the sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes represent slow response tissues.

It is important to recognize that accessory AV pathways (ie, bypass tracts) associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome are derived from the atria and are thus also fast response tissues dependent upon sodium current for depolarization.

Phase 0 depolarization depends on an inward calcium (not sodium) current via L-type calcium channels [10].

In some cases, as with tissue damage or changes in the extracellular milieu, fast response tissues can be converted to slow response tissues. In this setting, sodium channels become inactivated and depolarization is dependent upon the slow calcium channels.

By blocking catecholamine and sympathetically mediated actions, beta blockers slow the rate of discharge of the sinus and ectopic pacemakers, and increase the effective refractory period of the AV node. They also slow both antegrade and retrograde conduction in anomalous pathways [18].

Carvedilol is a beta-blocker with unique additional properties. In addition to beta- and alpha-adrenergic blockade, carvedilol can also block potassium (KCNH2, formerly HERG), calcium, and sodium currents and modestly prolong APD. However, when administered chronically, carvedilol increases the number of these channels, which is probably a favorable effect in diseased hearts [19].

So, to do machine learning, we need three things:

  • Input data points—For instance, if the task is speech recognition, these data points could be sound files of people speaking. If the task is image tagging, they could be pictures.
  • Examples of the expected output—In a speech-recognition task, these could be human-generated transcripts of sound files. In an image task, expected outputs could be tags such as “dog,” “cat,” and so on.
  • A way to measure whether the algorithm is doing a good job—This is necessary in order to determine the distance between the algorithm’s current output and its expected output. The measurement is used as a feedback signal to adjust the way the algorithm works. This adjustment step is what we call learning.

#body #configuration #continuum-mechanics #particle #position #region

We shall use the term “body” to be a mathematical abstraction of an “object that occurs in nature”. A body \(\mathcal B\) is composed of a set of particles \(p\) (or material points). In a given configuration of the body, each particle is located at some definite point \(\mathbf{y}\) in three-dimensional space. The set of all the points in space, corresponding to the locations of all the particles, is the region \(\mathcal R\) occupied by the body in that configuration. A particular body, composed of a particular set of particles, can adopt different configurations under the action of different stimuli (forces, heating etc.) and therefore occupy different regions of space under different conditions. Note the distinction between the body, a configuration of the body, and the region the body occupies in that configuration; we make these distinctions rigorous in what follows. Similarly note the distinction between a particle and the position in space it occupies in some configuration.

In order to appreciate the difference between a configuration and the region occupied in that configuration, consider the following example: suppose that a body, in a certain configuration, occupies a circular cylindrical region of space. If the object is “twisted” about its axis (as in torsion), it continues to occupy this same (circular cylindrical) region of space. Thus the region occupied by the body has not changed even though we would say that the body is in a different “configuration”.

More formally, in continuum mechanics a body \(\mathcal B\) is a collection of elements which can be put into one-to-one correspondence with some region \(\mathcal R\) of Euclidean point space. An element \(p \in \mathcal B\) is called a particle (or material point). Thus, given a body \(\mathcal B\), there is necessarily a mapping \(\chi\) that takes particles \(p \in \mathcal B\) into their geometric locations \(y \in \mathcal R\) in three-dimensional Euclidean space:

\(y = \chi(p) \quad \textrm{where} \quad p \in \mathcal B, \mathbf{y} \in \mathcal R.\)

The mapping \(\chi\) is called a configuration of the body \(\mathcal B\); \(\mathbf y\) is the position occupied by the particle \(p\) in the configuration \(\chi\); and \(\mathcal R\) is the region occupied by the body in the configuration \(\chi\). Often, we write \(\mathcal R = \chi \left( \mathcal B \right)\).

The deep in deep learning isn’t a reference to any kind of deeper understanding achieved by the approach; rather, it stands for this idea of successive layers of representations. How many layers contribute to a model of the data is called the depth of the model. Other appropriate names for the field could have been layered representations learning and hierarchical representations learning. Modern deep learning often involves tens or even hundreds of successive layers of representations—and they’re all learned automatically from exposure to training data. Meanwhile, other approaches to machine learning tend to focus on learning only one or two layers of representations of the data; hence, they’re sometimes called shallow learning.

#deep-learning #neural-network
In deep learning, these layered representations are (almost always) learned via models called neural networks, structured in literal layers stacked on top of each other. The term neural network is a reference to neurobiology, but although some of the central concepts in deep learning were developed in part by drawing inspiration from our understanding of the brain, deep-learning models are not models of the brain. There’s no evidence that the brain implements anything like the learning mechanisms used in modern deep-learning models.

As you can see in figure 1.6, the network transforms the digit image into representations that are increasingly different from the original image and increasingly informative about the final result. You can think of a deep network as a multistage information-distillation operation, where information goes through successive filters and comes out increasingly purified (that is, useful with regard to some task).

The specification of what a layer does to its input data is stored in the layer’s weights, which in essence are a bunch of numbers. In technical terms, we’d say that the transformation implemented by a layer is parameterized by its weights (see figure 1.7). (Weights are also sometimes called the parameters of a layer.) In this context, learning means finding a set of values for the weights of all layers in a network, such that the network will correctly map example inputs to their associated targets. But here’s the thing: a deep neural network can contain tens of millions of parameters. Finding the correct value for all of them may seem like a daunting task, especially given that modifying the value of one parameter will affect the behavior of all the others!

To control something, first you need to be able to observe it. To control the output of a neural network, you need to be able to measure how far this output is from what you expected. This is the job of the loss function of the network, also called the objective function. The loss function takes the predictions of the network and the true target (what you wanted the network to output) and computes a distance score, capturing how well the network has done on this specific example (see figure 1.8)

The fundamental trick in deep learning is to use this score as a feedback signal to adjust the value of the weights a little, in a direction that will lower the loss score for the current example (see figure 1.9). This adjustment is the job of the optimizer, which implements what’s called the Backpropagation algorithm: the central algorithm in deep learning.

Initially, the weights of the network are assigned random values, so the network merely implements a series of random transformations. Naturally, its output is far from what it should ideally be, and the loss score is accordingly very high. But with every example the network processes, the weights are adjusted a little in the correct direction, and the loss score decreases. This is the training loop, which, repeated a sufficient number of times (typically tens of iterations over thousands of examples), yields weight values that minimize the loss function. A network with a minimal loss is one for which the outputs are as close as they can be to the targets: a trained network. Once again, it’s a simple mechanism that, once scaled, ends up looking like magic.
