A New Non-Negative Matrix Co-Factorisation Approach for Noisy Neonatal Chest Sound Separation [PDF]
Obtaining high-quality heart and lung sounds enables clinicians to accurately assess a newborn's cardio-respiratory health and provide timely care. However, noisy chest sound recordings are common, hindering timely and accurate assessment. A new Non-negative Matrix Co-Factorisation-based approach is proposed to separate noisy chest sound recordings ...
