Detection of Anomaly Lung Sound using Deep Temporal Feature Extraction

깊은 시계열 특성 추출을 이용한 폐 음성 이상 탐지

Recent research has highlighted the effectiveness of Deep Learning (DL) techniques in automating the detection of lung sound anomalies. However, the available lung sound datasets often suffer from limitations in both size and balance, prompting DL methods to employ data preprocessing such as augmentation and transfer learning techniques. These strategies, while valuable, contribute to the increased complexity of DL models and necessitate substantial training memory. In this study, we proposed a streamlined and lightweight DL method but effectively detects lung sound anomalies from small and imbalanced dataset. The utilization of 1D dilated convolutional neural networks enhances sensitivity to lung sound anomalies by efficiently capturing deep temporal features and small variations. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the ICBHI dataset and achieved a notable improvement over state-of-the-art results, increasing the average score of sensitivity and specificity metrics by 2.7%.
