Researchers have developed and compared deep learning models against traditional signal processing techniques for detecting and measuring respiratory events in horses during exercise. The study, which focused on Standardbred trotters, found that Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs) outperformed Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and signal processing methods in accurately estimating respiratory rates. TCNs achieved a median F1 score of 0.94 in detecting exhalation sounds, demonstrating promising results even on less distinct sounds at lower exercise intensities. AI
