| contents | Training reliable respiratory sound classification models remains challenging due to the limited size and subject diversity of datasets. Ensemble methods can improve robustness, but when base models are trained on identical data, models tend to overfit and produce highly correlated predictions, thereby reducing the effectiveness of ensembling. In this work, we investigate a meta-ensemble learning methodology that enhances prediction diversity by training base models on diverse data splits and combining their outputs through a trained meta-model. Specifically, we train base models on the ICBHI dataset using two data split settings: fixed 80-20% split and five-fold cross-validation split, under two data granularity settings: patient- and sample-level. The resulting diversity in base model predictions enables the meta-model to better generalize. Our approach achieves new state-of-the-art performance on the ICBHI benchmark, reaching a Score of 66.49% and showing improved generalization on two out-of-distribution datasets, indicating its potential applicability to real-world clinical data. |
