Multi-class classification of heart sounds using enhanced bidirectional short-term memory metho
The importance of early detection programs in improving the nation's overall health cannot be overemphasized. Conventional phonocardiogram (PCG) signals have been used a lot in this field of research because they are cheap and easy to use. The proposed convolutional neural network-based model differentiates the four types of cardiac auscultation just by looking at raw PCG data. To fully automate the process, two separate learning phases had to be created and given names that explained what they did. These learning stages are known as "representation learning" and "sequence residual learning.”. The use of this approach resulted in a significant enhancement in the precision of the PCG. This is because time has no effect on the qualities in any way. The findings of the study reveal that the suggested end-to-end architecture surpasses the most recent solutions in every area of the evaluation while utilizing nearly the same degree of computational complexity. Even though the proposed architecture has the same amount of computational complexity, this is still true. The recall rate of 99.52% demonstrates that the F1 score, accuracy, and precision all exceed 99.60%. In a head-to-head comparison with other models created using the same datasets as the other studies and publications, our model clearly wins. According to the study's findings, the model worked 85.57 percent of the time. The model worked and had an accuracy of 88.09 percent when tested with PhysioNet and Github PCG data. Extensive testing for primary and secondary validation yielded reliable results.
