+# Deep Learning for Bradycardia Prediction
+
+## Description
+
+Deep Learing based prediction of a cardiac arrhythmia (bradycardia) in infants using ECG signal. The dataset can be downloaded from [here](https://physionet.org/content/picsdb/1.0.0/). 
+
+## File description
+
+- [models](./models/) -> This directory contains code for EncoderAttention, Encoder with BCE Loss, Fully Convolutional Network, Inception Time, and Sequence-to-Sequence models.
+
+- [DataExtraction.ipynb](./DataExtraction.ipynb) -> This notebook is used for extracting ECG values and annotations from the data files, and storing the retrieved values as `.csv` files.
