A continuous real-time respiratory sound automated analysis system is needed in clinical practice. Previously, we established an open access lung sound database, HF_Lung_V1, and automated lung sound analysis algorithms capable of detecting inhalation, exhalation, continuous adventitious sounds (CASs) and discontinuous adventitious sounds (DASs). In this study, HF-Lung-V1 has been further expanded to HF-Lung-V2 with 1.45 times of increase in audio files. The convolutional neural network (CNN)-bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) model was separately trained with training datasets of HF_Lung_V1 (V1_Train) and HF_Lung_V2 (V2_Train), and then were used for the performance comparisons of segment detection and event detection on both test datasets of HF_Lung_V1 (V1_Test) and HF_Lung_V2 (V2_Test). The performance of segment detection was measured by accuracy, predictive positive value (PPV), sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC), whereas that of event detection was evaluated with PPV, sensitivity, and F1 score. Results indicate that the model performance trained by V2_Train showed improvement on both V1_Test and V2_Test in inhalation, CASs and DASs, particularly in CASs, as well as on V1_Test in exhalation.

A reliable, remote, and continuous real-time respiratory sound monitor with automated respiratory sound analysis ability is urgently required in many clinical scenarios-such as in monitoring disease progression of coronavirus disease 2019-to replace conventional auscultation with a handheld stethoscope. However, a robust computerized respiratory sound analysis algorithm has not yet been validated in practical applications. In this study, we developed a lung sound database (HF_Lung_V1) comprising 9,765 audio files of lung sounds (duration of 15 s each), 34,095 inhalation labels, 18,349 exhalation labels, 13,883 continuous adventitious sound (CAS) labels (comprising 8,457 wheeze labels, 686 stridor labels, and 4,740 rhonchi labels), and 15,606 discontinuous adventitious sound labels (all crackles). We conducted benchmark tests for long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), bidirectional GRU (BiGRU), convolutional neural network (CNN)-LSTM, CNN-GRU, CNN-BiLSTM, and CNN-BiGRU models for breath phase detection and adventitious sound detection. We also conducted a performance comparison between the LSTM-based and GRU-based models, between unidirectional and bidirectional models, and between models with and without a CNN. The results revealed that these models exhibited adequate performance in lung sound analysis. The GRU-based models outperformed, in terms of F1 scores and areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves, the LSTM-based models in most of the defined tasks. Furthermore, all bidirectional models outperformed their unidirectional counterparts. Finally, the addition of a CNN improved the accuracy of lung sound analysis, especially in the CAS detection tasks.
We evaluated the effectiveness of an automated bird sound identification system in a situation that emulates a realistic, typical application. We trained classification algorithms on a crowd-sourced collection of bird audio recording data and restric ted our training methods to be completely free of manual intervention. The approach is hence directly applicable to the analysis of multiple species collections, with labelling provided by crowd-sourced collection. We evaluated the performance of the bird sound recognition system on a realistic number of candidate classes, corresponding to real conditions. We investigated the use of two canonical classification methods, chosen due to their widespread use and ease of interpretation, namely a k Nearest Neighbour (kNN) classifier with histogram-based features and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with time-summarisation features. We further investigated the use of a certainty measure, derived from the output probabilities of the classifiers, to enhance the interpretability and reliability of the class decisions. Our results demonstrate that both identification methods achieved similar performance, but we argue that the use of the kNN classifier offers somewhat more flexibility. Furthermore, we show that employing an outcome certainty measure provides a valuable and consistent indicator of the reliability of classification results. Our use of generic training data and our investigation of probabilistic classification methodologies that can flexibly address the variable number of candidate species/classes that are expected to be encountered in the field, directly contribute to the development of a practical bird sound identification system with potentially global application. Further, we show that certainty measures associated with identification outcomes can significantly contribute to the practical usability of the overall system.
In this work, we present the development of a new database, namely Sound Localization and Classification (SLoClas) corpus, for studying and analyzing sound localization and classification. The corpus contains a total of 23.27 hours of data recorded u sing a 4-channel microphone array. 10 classes of sounds are played over a loudspeaker at 1.5 meters distance from the array by varying the Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) from 1 degree to 360 degree at an interval of 5 degree. To facilitate the study of noise robustness, 6 types of outdoor noise are recorded at 4 DoAs, using the same devices. Moreover, we propose a baseline method, namely Sound Localization and Classification Network (SLCnet) and present the experimental results and analysis conducted on the collected SLoClas database. We achieve the accuracy of 95.21% and 80.01% for sound localization and classification, respectively. We publicly release this database and the source code for research purpose.
Computational auditory scene analysis is gaining interest in the last years. Trailing behind the more mature field of speech recognition, it is particularly general sound event detection that is attracting increasing attention. Crucial for training a nd testing reasonable models is having available enough suitable data -- until recently, general sound event databases were hardly found. We release and present a database with 714 wav files containing isolated high quality sound events of 14 different types, plus 303 `general wav files of anything else but these 14 types. All sound events are strongly labeled with perceptual on- and offset times, paying attention to omitting in-between silences. The amount of isolated sound events, the quality of annotations, and the particular general sound class distinguish NIGENS from other databases.

Early and correct diagnosis is a very important aspect of cancer treatment. Detection of tumour in Computed Tomography scan is a tedious and tricky task which requires expert knowledge and a lot of human working hours. As small human error is present in any work he does, it is possible that a CT scan could be misdiagnosed causing the patient to become terminal. This paper introduces a novel fully automated framework which helps to detect and segment tumour, if present in a lung CT scan series. It also provides useful analysis of the detected tumour such as its approximate volume, centre location and more. The framework provides a single click solution which analyses all CT images of a single patient series in one go. It helps to reduce the work of manually going through each CT slice and provides quicker and more accurate tumour diagnosis. It makes use of customized image processing and image segmentation methods, to detect and segment the prospective tumour region from the CT scan. It then uses a trained ensemble classifier to correctly classify the segmented region as being tumour or not. Tumour analysis further computed can then be used to determine malignity of the tumour. With an accuracy of 98.14%, the implemented framework can be used in various practical scenarios, capable of eliminating need of any expert pathologist intervention.
