Abstract

Machine learning enabled auscultating diagnosis can provide promising solutions especially for prescreening purposes. The bottleneck for its potential success is that high-quality datasets for training are still scarce. An open auscultation dataset that consists of samples and annotations from patients and healthy individuals is established in this work for the respiratory diagnosis studies with machine learning, which is of both scientific importance and practical potential. A machine learning approach is examined to showcase the use of this new dataset for lung sound classifications with different diseases. The open dataset is available to the public online.
