• Abstract summary: This work aims to develop a framework that can perform cough classification even in situations when enormous cough data is not available. We adopt few-shot learning and federated learning to design a novel framework, termed F2LCough, for solving the newly formulated problem. Our results show the feasibility of few-shot learning combined with federated learning to build a classification model of cough sounds.

• Abstract: Automatically classifying cough sounds is one of the most critical tasks for the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. However, collecting a huge amount of labeled cough dataset is challenging mainly due to high laborious expenses, data scarcity, and privacy concerns. In this work, our aim is to develop a framework that can effectively perform cough classification even in situations when enormous cough data is not available, while also addressing privacy concerns. Specifically, we formulate a new problem to tackle these challenges and adopt few-shot learning and federated learning to design a novel framework, termed F2LCough, for solving the newly formulated problem. We illustrate the superiority of our method compared with other approaches on COVID-19 Thermal Face & Cough dataset, in which F2LCough achieves an average F1-Score of 86%. Our results show the feasibility of few-shot learning combined with federated learning to build a classification model of cough sounds. This new methodology is able to classify cough sounds in data-scarce situations and maintain privacy properties. The outcomes of this work can be a fundamental framework for building support systems for the detection and diagnosis of cough-related diseases.

  Cough audio signal classification is a potentially useful tool in screening for respiratory disorders, such as COVID-19. Many research teams have turned to crowdsourcing to quickly gather cough sound data, as it was done to generate the COUGHVID dataset. The COUGHVID dataset enlisted expert physicians to diagnose the underlying diseases present in a limited number of uploaded recordings. This work uses a semi-supervised learning (SSL) approach to improve the labeling consistency of the COUGHVID dataset and the robustness of COVID-19 versus healthy cough sound classification.
