Cardiac auscultation involves expert interpretation of abnormalities in heart sounds using stethoscope. Deep learning based cardiac auscultation is of significant interest to the healthcare community as it can help reducing the burden of…
Early detection of heart arrhythmia can prevent severe future complications in cardiac patients. While manual diagnosis still remains the clinical standard, it relies heavily on visual interpretation and is inherently subjective. In recent…
This paper proposes a novel framework for the segmentation of phonocardiogram (PCG) signals into heart states, exploiting the temporal evolution of the PCG as well as considering the salient information that it provides for the detection of…
Auscultatory analysis using an electronic stethoscope has attracted increasing attention in the clinical diagnosis of respiratory diseases. Recently, neural networks have been applied to assist in respiratory sound classification with…
Cardiovascular disease (CD) is the number one leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for more than 17 million deaths in 2015. Critical indicators of CD include heart murmurs, intense sounds emitted by the heart during periods of…
Listening to heart and lung sounds - auscultation - is one of the first and most fundamental steps in a clinical examination. Despite being fast and non-invasive, it demands years of experience to interpret subtle audio cues. Recent deep…
The purpose of this paper is to compare different learnable frontends in medical acoustics tasks. A framework has been implemented to classify human respiratory sounds and heartbeats in two categories, i.e. healthy or affected by…
We introduce a novel question-answering (QA) dataset using echocardiogram reports sourced from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database. This dataset is specifically designed to enhance QA systems in cardiology, consisting…
In this work, we propose an ensemble of classifiers to distinguish between various degrees of abnormalities of the heart using Phonocardiogram (PCG) signals acquired using digital stethoscopes in a clinical setting, for the INTERSPEECH 2018…
Heart sound auscultation has been applied in clinical usage for early screening of cardiovascular diseases. Due to the high demand for auscultation expertise, automatic auscultation can help with auxiliary diagnosis and reduce the burden of…
With the dramatic upsurge in the volume of ultrasound examinations, low-quality ultrasound imaging has gradually increased due to variations in operator proficiency and imaging circumstances, imposing a severe burden on diagnosis accuracy…
Cardiac auscultation is an essential point-of-care method used for the early diagnosis of heart diseases. Automatic analysis of heart sounds for abnormality detection is faced with the challenges of additive noise and sensor-dependent…
Listening to lung sounds through auscultation is vital in examining the respiratory system for abnormalities. Automated analysis of lung auscultation sounds can be beneficial to the health systems in low-resource settings where there is a…
The alarmingly high mortality rate and increasing global prevalence of cardiovascular diseases signify the crucial need for early detection schemes. Phonocardiogram (PCG) signals have been historically applied in this domain owing to its…
Early identification of abnormal physiological patterns is essential for the timely detection of cardiac disease. This work introduces a hybrid quantum-classical convolutional neural network (QCNN) designed to classify S3 and murmur…
Phonology, the study of speech's structure and pronunciation rules, is a critical yet often overlooked component in Large Language Model (LLM) research. LLMs are widely used in various downstream applications that leverage phonology such as…
In recent years, advancements in deep learning techniques have considerably enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of medical diagnostics. In this work, a novel approach using multi-task learning (MTL) for the simultaneous classification of…
Emotion recognition in speech is a challenging multimodal task that requires understanding both verbal content and vocal nuances. This paper introduces a novel approach to emotion detection using Large Language Models (LLMs), which have…
We investigate the effectiveness of fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) on small medical datasets for text classification and named entity recognition tasks. Using a German cardiology report dataset and the i2b2 Smoking Challenge…
Systolic murmurs are extra heart sounds that occur during the contraction phase of the cardiac cycle, often indicating heart abnormalities caused by turbulent blood flow. Their intensity, pitch, and quality vary, requiring precise…
