Heart rate estimation leaderboard

PPG-DaLiA: MAE (BPM)

Name: PPG-DaLiA MAE (BPM) leaderboard: heart rate estimation
Creator: ChatPPG

11 reported results for heart rate estimation on PPG-DaLiA, ranked by MAE (BPM). Top reported: CardioState-JEPA (3.8). Every row cites its source publication.

This page ranks every result ChatPPG has recorded for heart rate estimation on PPG-DaLiA, measured by Mean absolute HR error (BPM) (lower is better). Each number is copied from the publication cited in its row, and ranks apply only within this dataset and metric.

Heart rate estimation: PPG-DaLiA, Mean absolute HR error (BPM). Reported rankings; evaluation protocols may differ.
