SensorGen

This repository hosts the pre-trained checkpoints used in the SensorGen study ("Signal or Noise? Understanding Generative Models for Real-World Sensor Time Series").

Checkpoint	Task	Dataset
text2ecg.pt	Text-to-ECG	MIMIC-IV ECG
bp_translation.pt	PPG and NIBP to invasive BP	VitalDB

Usage

Pair this checkpoint repository with the GitHub code release at yang-ai-lab/SensorGen.

Download a single checkpoint

Task specifications

Task	Target x	C × T	c_1 (sparse)	c_2 (dense)
Text-to-ECG	12-lead ECG, 10 s @ 100 Hz	12 × 1,000	Free-text ECG report (CLIP-encoded)	—
PPG → invasive BP	Arterial blood pressure, 30 s @ 50 Hz	1 × 1,500	6-D non-invasive BP statistics	PPG waveform, 1 × 1,500

Datasets

Neither MIMIC-IV ECG nor VitalDB are redistributed in this repository. Credentialed access is required from the original data providers:

• MIMIC-IV ECG — PhysioNet credentialed access
• VitalDB — vitaldb.net

Preprocessing pipelines that convert the raw releases into the HDF5 layout consumed by these checkpoints are documented in the GitHub README.

Limitations and responsible use

• The generated waveforms reflect statistical patterns in the training corpus and must not be used for clinical diagnosis or as a substitute for real patient recordings.
• These models are released for research use. They are not approved medical devices and have not been evaluated for clinical safety or efficacy.
