A Robust Interpretable Deep Learning Classifier for Heart Anomaly Detection Without Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Traditionally, abnormal heart sound classification is framed as a three-stage process. The first stage involves segmenting the phonocardiogram to detect fundamental heart sounds; after which features are extracted and classification is performed. Some researchers in the field argue the segmentation step is an unwanted computational burden, whereas ...
