==== My Other Paper Readings Are Also Over Here ====

  • Feature extraction is carried out using two different time scales. Short-term features are computed from five-second fragments of heart sound instances, whereas long-term features are extracted from the entire signal.
  • The long-term features are combined with the short-term features to create a feature pool known as long short-term features for classification.

1. Long-Short Term Features (LSTF)

1.1. Short-Term Features (STF)

Short-Term Features (STF)
  • As shown above, the short-term features contain a total of 27 features, with 14 of them being extracted from the time, high-order statistics, energy, and frequency domains. The rest of the short-term features are Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFFCs).

1.2. Long-Term Features (LTF)

Long-Term Features (LTF)

1.3. Feature Pooling

Feature Pooling
  • To merge the short- and long-term features, long-term features are added at the end of the short-term features. There are 27 short-term and 6 long-term features.
  • Component analysis can be performed to reduce the feature sets, it is understood that all long-term features and 16 short-term features carry a significant amount of information.

1.4. Classification Models

Classification Models
  • NB, SVM, kNN and Ensemble Methods are tried.

2. Results

Classification Accuracy

LSTF without feature reduction obtains the best performance.
