AeroSpectra Sentinel: An Auditable LLM Prompt-Chaining Decision-Support Workflow for Acute Asthma Risk Assessment from Respiratory Sounds and Clinical Signals

arXiv:2606. 08247v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Acute asthma risk assessment requires rapid interpretation of respiratory sounds, oxygenation, airflow limitation, speech ability, work of breathing, mental status, and response to reliever therapy.

Optimizing 2D Input Representations and Sub-phase Fusion Strategies for Differential Diagnosis of Asthma and COPD Using CNN- and GRU-Based Networks

This study aims to explore the performance of the VAR model in comparison with mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) matrices and log-mel spectrograms using deep learning. In pulmonary sound classification, spectrogram-based representations suffer from inconsistent temporal dimensions due to varying respiratory cycle durations.

From Black-Box to Clinical Insight: A Multi-Stage Explainable Framework for Speech-Based Cognitive Impairment Detection

arXiv:2606. 27973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech-based cognitive impairment detection offers a noninvasive, accessible alternative to costly biomarker assays, yet transformer-based models remain clinically uninterpretable.

Can Foundation Models Hear What Made That Sound? A Tiered Benchmark of Audio-Language Models and Traditional Classifiers for Closed-Set Sound Source Identification

We benchmark eleven audio classification methods: five task-aware closed-set LLMs (four Gemini models plus open-weight Kimi-Audio-7B-Instruct), four fixed-vocabulary taggers (YAMNet, PANNs, Whisper-AT, and SSLAM), a zero-shot audio-text model (CLAP), and an audio-grounded LLM (BAT). We evaluate them on a closed-set sound-source identification task over 2,242 clips spanning 23 fine-grained classes and 11 categories.

Primary ICD Category Prediction using LLM-based Probing

arXiv:2606. 28798v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective: ICD codes are central to reimbursement, research, and population health surveillance, yet automated coding systems often struggle to integrate diagnostic signals from both clinical narratives and structured electronic health record (EHR) variables.
