BreathGRU is a semi‑supervised Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit framework designed to segment speech and breath events in respiratory audio. It combines acoustic feature extraction, bidirectional recurrent modeling, pseudo‑label refinement, and duration‑constrained Segmental Viterbi decoding to produce accurate speech‑breath segmentation. In evaluations against existing methods, BreathGRU achieved the highest breath event recall, lowest onset‑localisation error, and highest Mean Match Intersection over Union, outperforming large pretrained VAD models such as Silero.
