Researchers have developed AudioFuse, a novel architecture that combines Vision Transformer (ViT) and 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models to classify phonocardiograms (PCGs). This hybrid approach simultaneously learns from spectral and temporal data representations of biomedical audio signals. AudioFuse achieved a competitive ROC-AUC of 0.8608 on the PhysioNet 2016 dataset, outperforming its individual baseline models. The architecture also demonstrated superior robustness to domain shift on the PASCAL dataset, maintaining a high ROC-AUC while a spectrogram-only baseline significantly degraded. AI
