Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has fueled the interest in artificial intelligence tools for quick diagnosis to limit virus spreading. Over 60% of people who are infected complain of a dry cough. Cough and other respiratory sounds were used to build diagnosis models in much recent research. We propose in this work, an augmentation pipeline which is applied on the pre-filtered data and uses i) pitch-shifting technique to augment the raw signal and, ii) spectral data augmentation technique SpecAugment to augment the computed mel-spectrograms. A deep learning based architecture that hybridizes convolution neural networks and long-short term memory with an attention mechanism is proposed for building the classification model. The feasibility of the proposed is demonstrated through a set of testing scenarios using the large-scale COUGHVID cough dataset and through a comparison with three baselines models. We have shown that our classification model achieved 91.13% of testing accuracy, 90.93% of sensitivity and an area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic of 91.13%.
