Outline

This paper proposes a deep learning-based breath sound event detection method to address the subjectivity and inter-expert differences in auscultation, which are crucial for the early diagnosis of respiratory diseases. To address the limitations of existing methods, including fixed-length audio processing, inaccurate temporal localization due to frame-by-frame prediction, and insufficient utilization of breath sound location information, we present a graph neural network-based framework utilizing anchor intervals. This framework enables variable-length audio processing and accurate temporal localization of abnormal breath sound events. Experimental results using the SPRSound 2024 and HF Lung V1 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the importance of utilizing breath location information. A reference implementation is available on GitHub.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We present a novel method for effectively performing event detection for variable-length respiratory sounds using graph neural networks.
Anchor intervals can be used to more accurately determine the temporal location of abnormal breath sound events.
Improving abnormal breath sound identification performance by utilizing breath sound location information.
Contributed to the development of an automated auscultation system for early diagnosis of respiratory diseases.
Limitations:
Further verification of the generalization performance of the proposed method is needed.
Robustness assessment across a range of respiratory diseases and patient characteristics is needed.
Further research is needed to determine its applicability and utility in real-world clinical settings.
