Complete digital 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) are essential for AI-enabled cardiovascular assessment, yet many clinical ECG records, particularly those digitized from ECG images, remain incomplete because of short display formats, incomplete waveform digitization, lead loss, or signal corruption. We developed ImputeECG, a mask-conditioned one-dimensional Transformer autoencoder that completes 12-lead, 10-s ECGs while retaining all observed samples. The model was trained on PTB-XL and evaluated on PTB-XL and CPSC2018 under simulated incomplete settings, with additional real-world validation in a 43,633-record Kailuan clinical cohort after ECG image digitization. Metrics were computed over originally missing regions, with analyses of morphology and downstream diagnostic utility. On PTB-XL, ImputeECG reduced missing-region MAE by 41.7-51.0% and MSE by 54.0-63.7% versus the strongest baseline, with lower errors in R-peak timing, RR interval, QRS duration, QT interval, and P-wave, QRS-complex, and T-wave reconstruction. On CPSC2018, ImputeECG reduced MAE by 49.7-51.9%, supporting external generalization. In downstream multi-label classification, ImputeECG restored performance to 92.28% AUROC and 33.88% AUPRC in the most incomplete PTB-XL setting, approaching complete-ECG performance. On CPSC2018, completed ECGs achieved 94.75-95.89% AUROC and 78.83-81.86% AUPRC across settings. In Kailuan, ECG completion improved zero-shot sex prediction AUROC from 82.6% to 85.8% and reduced age prediction MAE from 10.72 to 9.87 years after image-based ECG digitization. These findings support ECG completion as a practical strategy for converting incomplete ECG records into AI-ready 12-lead, 10-s digital signals and extending the usable scope of ECG archives for digital cardiac assessment.

Industrial accidents, particularly in high-risk domains such as surface and underground mining, are frequently caused by unsafe worker behaviors. Traditional manual inspection remains labor-intensive, error-prone, and insufficient for large-scale, dynamic environments, highlighting the urgent need for intelligent and automated safety monitoring. In this paper, we present MonitorVLM, a novel vision--language framework designed to detect safety violations directly from surveillance video streams. MonitorVLM introduces three key innovations: (1) a domain-specific violation dataset comprising 9,000 vision--question--answer (VQA) samples across 40 high-frequency mining regulations, enriched with augmentation and auxiliary detection cues; (2) a clause filter (CF) module that dynamically selects the Top-$K$ most relevant clauses, reducing inference latency by 13.56\% while maintaining accuracy; and (3) a behavior magnifier (BM) module that enhances worker regions to improve fine-grained action recognition, yielding additional gains of 3.45% in precision and 8.62% in recall. Experimental results demonstrate that MonitorVLM significantly outperforms baseline vision--language models, achieving improvements of 22.01% in precision, 34.22\% in recall, and 28.37% in F1 score over the 72B unfine-tuned baseline. A lightweight web-based interface further integrates MonitorVLM into practical workflows, enabling automatic violation reporting with video timestamping. This study highlights the potential of multimodal large models to enhance occupational safety monitoring in mining and beyond.
