With three practice nurses audio taped semi-structured interviews were held, and with two practice nurses non-audio taped semi-structured interviews were held due to objections to audio taping.
Since MFCC features combined with SVM is a generally accepted practice for audio classification, we used it as a benchmark for our CNN algorithm.
It will be interesting and meaningful in practice if audio features are directly extracted from the compressed domain and used for music identification in the database.
Most of us have heard of the term circuit bending, a practice where audio equipment and electronic toys are rewired to create new instruments and sound generators.
Over a 2-day period in each practice, 81 audio-recordings of telephone triage (47 nurse and 34 GP) and 35 video-recordings of nurses' use of Odyssey CDSS were made.
Consent was sought from the selected GPs to visit their practices, to audio-tape a sample of consultations and to distribute survey questionnaires to a sample of their patients.
Music stores will use best audio practice prior to encoding files, whereas audio that's played on the radio has had dynamic range compression applied to it, and some radio stations don't apply best audio practice, so a track on iTunes should sound better than it would on the radio".
At the conclusion of the practice trials, an audio recording reiterated the instruction to balance accurate completion of the secondary tasks with the demands of safe driving.
Semi-structured interviews with a sub-set of 12 GPs and 6 practice nurses were audio recorded, taped and transcribed verbatim.
