Mitigating Stethoscope-Induced Shortcuts in Respiratory Sound Classification under Federated Domain Generalization with Causality-Inspired Interventions

The paper introduces BTS-CAFE, a federated domain generalization framework for respiratory sound classification that addresses stethoscope-induced shortcuts. It combines causality-inspired device-style interventions, counterfactual metadata augmentation, and gradient alignment to reduce style–content entanglement and promote device-invariant decision boundaries. Experiments on ICBHI and SPRSound datasets show a 3.69‑point improvement in out-of-distribution performance over the baseline and outperform conventional data augmentation and federated learning methods.
