Toward AI-Driven Cough Sound Analysis for Respiratory Disease Diagnosis by Houda Benaliouche, Houda Hafi, Hakim Bendjenna, Zeyad Alshaikh

“…Our study involves the application of three distinct models: a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, a CNN-Support Vector Machine (CNN-SVM) hybrid model, and a transfer learning-based model. We methodically evaluate different model architectures, ranging from custom-built networks to pre-trained deep models, applying spectrogram or Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) in transfer learning-based feature extraction, to determine which is the best approach in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and loss. …”
