Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithms on Classification of Covid-19 Cough Sounds Using MFCC Extraction

Abstract

Early detection for COVID-19 has now been widely developed. One of the methods used is cough audio detection. This research aims to classify cough audio. Audio feature extraction is performed using MFCC to obtain numerical features. Feature classification is done using SVM, Random Forest, and Naive Bayes methods. Evaluation is done to find the best classification method. The evaluation results in this study show that SVM Kernel RBF produces the best evaluation value with an AUC value of 0.657715.
