Mitigating Class Imbalance by Generating Synthetic Coughs Using WaveGAN
Virufy has created machine learning models that analyze coughs in order to provide a COVID-19 diagnosis. Training these models requires an even balance between COVID-positive and COVID-negative data, but they unfortunately have very little positive data. In order to combat this issue, the team hoped to generate synthetic coughs that closely resemble real coughs.
