• We demonstrate that the pretrained model on large-scale visual and audio datasets can be generalized to the respiratory sound classification task.
• We introduce a straightforward Patch-Mix augmentation, which randomly mixes patches between different samples, with Audio Spectrogram Transformer (AST).
• To overcome the label hierarchy in lung sound datasets, we propose an effective Patch-Mix Contrastive Learning to distinguish the mixed representations in the latent space.

Requirements

Install the necessary packages with:

$ pip install torch torchvision torchaudio
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Data Preparation

Download the ICBHI dataset files from official_page.

$ wget https://bhichallenge.med.auth.gr/sites/default/files/ICBHI_final_database/ICBHI_final_database.zip

All *.wav and *.txt should be saved in data/icbhi_dataset/audio_test_data.

Note that ICBHI dataset consists of a total of 6,898 respiratory cycles, of which 1,864 contain crackles, 886 contain wheezes, and 506 contain both crackles and wheezes, in 920 annotated audio samples from 126 subjects.

Training

To simply train the model, run the shell files in scripts/.

1. scripts/icbhi_ce.sh: Cross-Entropy loss with AST model.
2. scripts/icbhi_patchmix_ce.sh: Patch-Mix loss with AST model, where the label depends on the interpolation ratio.
3. scripts/icbhi_patchmix_cl.sh: Patch-Mix contrastive loss with AST model.

Important arguments for different data settings.

• --dataset: other lungsound datasets or heart sound can be implemented
• --class_split: "lungsound" or "diagnosis" classification
• --n_cls: set number of classes as 4 or 2 (normal / abnormal) for lungsound classification
• --test_fold: "official" denotes 60/40% train/test split, and "0"~"4" denote 80/20% split

Important arguments for models.

• --model: network architecture, see models
• --from_sl_official: load ImageNet pretrained checkpoint
• --audioset_pretrained: load AudioSet pretrained checkpoint and only support AST and SSAST

Important arugment for evaluation.

• --eval: switch mode to evaluation without any training
• --pretrained: load pretrained checkpoint and require pretrained_ckpt argument.
• --pretrained_ckpt: path for the pretrained checkpoint

The pretrained model checkpoints will be saved at save/[EXP_NAME]/best.pth.

Result

Patch-Mix Contrastive Learning achieves the state-of-the-art performance of 62.37%, which is higher than previous Score by +4.08%.
