Summary
FOUND-AF (released today, Aug 7 2026) is a standardized benchmark for evaluating ECG foundation models specifically on atrial fibrillation (AF) detection. Tests FMs under linear-probe, full fine-tuning, and few-shot settings across multiple public ECG datasets (PhysioNet/CinC, LUDB, PTB-XL subsets, Chapman-Shaoxing). Controls for lead configuration and sampling rate.
