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.

Feature Scaling Beats Architecture Choice in Offline Respiratory Screening for Low-Resource Clinics

The study compares classical and deep learning classifiers for a five‑class respiratory‑sound dataset of 1,211 clips. An SVM using 30 summary features (MFCC, ZCR, RMS) achieves macro recall of 0.78, while a 1.13M‑parameter convolutional‑recurrent network reaches 0.75–0.77; no clear advantage is found between model families. The largest performance gain comes from standardizing the SVM’s features, which boosts macro recall by 27 points, far exceeding any architectural difference.

WIPSNet: Deep Learning for Paediatric Wheeze Detection from Overnight Impedance Pneumography

WIPSNet is a 3D ResNet that processes stacked continuous wavelet transform scalograms of overnight impedance pneumography (IP) signals to detect paediatric wheeze. In a study of 15 patients (60 nights, 281 hours), it achieved an AUC of 0.783 ± 0.026, outperforming the traditional Expiratory Variability Index, a state‑space model, and two modern sleep‑staging architectures. The model’s best performance occurs with a 32‑minute temporal context, highlighting the importance of multi‑scale temporal aggregation for nocturnal respiratory dynamics.

Self-Supervised Speech Representations for Cross-Speaker Dysarthria Detection During Awake Craniotomy

The study evaluates a pipeline for detecting dysarthria during awake craniotomy using the DATABRASE corpus. It combines speaker diarization, a multi‑view representation of handcrafted acoustic features and wav2vec 2.0 embeddings, speaker‑conditional normalization, feature selection, and a cascaded classifier. Results show that the speech representation has a larger impact on cross‑speaker performance than classifier choice, with self‑supervised embeddings improving AUC by 18.2%–26.1% and additional gains from diarization‑conditioned extraction and the classifier cascade.
