Summary: This study presents a comparison of conventional and state-of-the-art deep learning based computer algorithm paradigms for the audio classification task of normal, mild abnormalities, and moderate/severe abnormalities as present in phonocardiogram recordings. In particular, they explore the suitability of deep feature representations as learnt by sequence to sequence autoencoders based on the auDeep toolkit.
