Özet
Sound classification has obtained considerable attention in recent years due to its wide range of applications in various fields, such as speech recognition, sound surveillance, music analysis, and environmental monitoring. Because of its success, audio classification can also be employed in medical applications. Coughing is the most common disease symptom, and cough sounds might be used to diagnose them. This research focuses on identifying observable features of cough and classifying them into positive, negative, or symptomatic categories. A novel ensemble learning model based on the super learner (SL) is proposed to diagnose the disease using cough sounds utilizing various audio features such as Frequency Distribution, Time Domain Features, Spectral Features, and Time-Frequency Features. The SL method is a cross -validated approach to stacked generalization, and it can select an optimal learner from a set of learners and improve performance by selecting and merging models using cross -validation. The proposed SL model comprises DT, RF, LR, SVM, ET, and k -NN algorithms. We use the public Coughvid dataset, and the proposed model achieves a correct classification rate for symptomatic cases, which was 90.90%, and the positive predictive value for COVID-19 cases was 84.50%. The SL3 model attains 72%, 78%, 73%, 74.4%, and 78.85% precision, recall, f1 -score, accuracy, and average AUC values, respectively. The numerical results show that the proposed model might be implemented to diagnose various other diseases that can be determined from respiratory sounds.
