Towards Enhanced Classification of Abnormal Lung sound in Multi-breath: A Light Weight Multi-label and Multi-head Attention Classification Method
This work addresses the issue of class imbalance and lack of diversity in respiratory sound datasets for clinical diagnostic applications, representing an incremental improvement.
The study tackled the problem of classifying abnormal lung respiratory sounds by developing a lightweight multi-label and multi-head attention method, achieving a 59.2% ICBHI score on the ICBHI2017 dataset.
This study aims to develop an auxiliary diagnostic system for classifying abnormal lung respiratory sounds, enhancing the accuracy of automatic abnormal breath sound classification through an innovative multi-label learning approach and multi-head attention mechanism. Addressing the issue of class imbalance and lack of diversity in existing respiratory sound datasets, our study employs a lightweight and highly accurate model, using a two-dimensional label set to represent multiple respiratory sound characteristics. Our method achieved a 59.2% ICBHI score in the four-category task on the ICBHI2017 dataset, demonstrating its advantages in terms of lightweight and high accuracy. This study not only improves the accuracy of automatic diagnosis of lung respiratory sound abnormalities but also opens new possibilities for clinical applications.
