The COUGHVID crowdsourcing dataset: A corpus for the study of large-scale cough analysis algorithms

Understand

Cough audio signal classification has been successfully used to diagnose a variety of respiratory conditions, and there has been significant interest in leveraging Machine Learning (ML) to provide widespread COVID-19 screening.

• However, there is currently no validated database of cough sounds with which to train such ML models.
• The COUGHVID dataset provides over 20,000 crowdsourced cough recordings representing a wide range of subject ages, genders, geographic locations, and COVID-19 statuses.
• First, we filtered the dataset using our open-sourced cough detection algorithm.
