The most important concern in the medical field is to consider the analysis of data and perform accurate diagnosis. However, the analysis of pulmonary abnormalities may depend on the diagnostic experience and the medical skills of the physicians, and is a time-consuming practice. In order to solve such issues, an efficient Water Cycle Swarm Optimizer-based Hierarchical Attention Network (WCSO-based HAN) is developed for detecting the pulmonary abnormalities from the respiratory sounds signals. However, the developed optimization technique named WCSO is devised by incorporating the Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA) with Competitive Swarm Optimizer (CSO). Here, the pre-processing is performed using the Hanning window and Spectral gating-based noise reduction method in order to remove the falsifications or noises from the signal. Thereafter, the process of feature extraction is carried out to extract the significant features, such as Bark frequency Cepstral coefficient (BFCC) and the short term features, such asspectral flux and spectral centroid. Once the significant features are extracted, classification is performed using HAN where the training procedure of HAN is carried out using WCSO. Furthermore, the developed WCSO-based HAN obtained efficient performance using True Positive Rate (TPR), True Negative Rate (TNR) and accuracy with the values of 0.943, 0.913, and 0.923 using dataset 1, respectively. |
