RESUMEN
Reliable detection of COVID-19 from cough recordings is evaluated using bag-of-words classifiers. The effect of using four distinct feature extraction procedures and four different encoding strategies is evaluated in terms of the Area Under Curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and F1-score. Additional studies include assessing the effect of both input and output fusion approaches and a comparative analysis against 2D solutions using Convolutional Neural Networks. Extensive experiments conducted on the COUGHVID and COVID-19 Sounds datasets indicate that sparse encoding yields the best performances, showing robustness against various combinations of feature type, encoding strategy, and codebook dimension parameters.
