Description:
RELATED APPLICATION(S) 
     This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/133,446, filed Jan. 4, 2021, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. 
    
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates generally to machine learning classifiers utilizing-a strategic machine learning as a method and system for use of federated data, machine learning and swarm learning for a derived strategic blueprint facilitating machine learning across data boundaries derived blueprint. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Deep learning approaches have caused tremendous advances in many areas of computer science. Deep learning is a branch of machine learning where the learning process is done using deep and complex architectures such as recurrent convolutional artificial neural networks. Many computer science applications have utilized deep learning such as computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, sentiment analysis, social network analysis, and robotics. The success of deep learning enabled the application of learning models such as reinforcement learning in which the learning process is only done by trial-and-error, solely from actions rewards or punishments. Deep reinforcement learning come to create systems that can learn how to adapt in the real world. As deep learning utilizes deep and complex architectures, the learning process usually is time and effort consuming and need huge labeled data sets. This inspired the introduction of transfer and multi-task learning approaches to better exploit the available data during training and adapt previously learned knowledge to emerging domains, tasks, or applications. 
     Traditional deep learning based approaches have been applied to develop classifiers for a number of respiratory illnesses using cough signal data signature recordings. The challenge with deep learning models that are very specialized to a particular domain or even a specific task is that they are unable to differentiate or further classify negatives. There becomes an uncertainty about whether there is a certain degree of statistical luck as opposed to further discrimination and classification of the negative category. Deep learning models can be trained for classification and prediction tasks, however they are constrained by sample imbalance. In order for a deep neural network to be predictive across multiple applications it must be given a balanced set of labeled signal data. 
     The free flow of data across borders is essential for the digital economy, yet many governments place restrictions on the movement of data internationally. Cross-border flows of data are currently regulated by a number of international, regional and national instruments and laws intended to protect individuals&#39; privacy, the local economy or national security. Other data barriers may exist, as well, such as bandwidth and networking limitations, etc. 
     The increased digitalization of organizations, driven by the rapid adoption of technologies such as cloud computing and data analytics, has increased the importance of data, impacting not just information industries, but traditional industries as well. The use of data analytics in virtually all industries has increased efficiency, and made the movement of data more important. Organizations increasingly rely on data for a number of purposes, including to monitor production systems, manage global workforces, monitor supply chains, and support products in the field in real time. Organizations collect and analyze personal data to better understand customers&#39; preferences and willingness to pay, and adapt their products and services accordingly. 
     Barriers to data flows, such as data-residency requirements that confine data within a country&#39;s borders, a concept known as “data localization,” as well as technical impediments to sharing data exist that provide obstacles to efficient implementation of data analytics. Data localization can be explicitly required by law or is the de facto result of a culmination of other restrictive policies that make it unfeasible to transfer data, such as requiring companies to store a copy of the data locally, requiring companies to process data locally, and mandating individual or government consent for data transfers. 
     Prior solutions are limited by software programs that require human input and human decision points, algorithms that fail to capture the underlying distribution of signal data signature, algorithms that require balanced datasets, algorithms that are brittle and unable to perform well on datasets that were not present during training. Many governments place restrictions on the movement of data internationally that prior solutions fail to resolve or address. 
     SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     This specification describes a signal data signature detection system that includes a machine learning derived strategy for training a compendium of signal data signature classifiers by applying signal data signature classifiers at the natural boundaries within the dataset (e.g., underlying features that lead to class distinctions). The signal data signature detection system components include input data, computer hardware, computer software, and output data that can be viewed by a hardware display media or paper. A hardware display media may include a hardware display screen on a device (computer, tablet, mobile phone), projector, and other types of display media. 
     Signal Data Signature detection, characterization and classification is the task of recognizing a source signal data signature and its respective temporal parameters within a source signal data stream or recording. Sound Event Detection (SED) is an example of signal data signature detection with many different applications. SED is the task of recognizing sound events and their respective temporal start and end time in an audio recording. SED aims at processing the continuous acoustic signal and converting it into symbolic descriptions of the corresponding sound events as well as the timing of those events. SED and other signal data signature detection algorithms may include context-based indexing, retrieval in multimedia databases, unobtrusive monitoring in health care, surveillance, and medical diagnostics. 
     The application of signal data signature detection as a medical diagnostic or screening tool is particularly attractive as it represents a non-intrusive, real-time diagnostic that can be essential during public health crisis. Public health situations may be exacerbated by the lack of real-time testing diagnostics which in turn compromises the safety of vulnerable populations. Further, the ability to identify a signal data signature diagnostic of a particular condition or disease can have significant benefits for limiting the spread of and recovery from an infectious disease. 
     Generally, the system may perform signal data signature detection on a signal data signature recording using a compendium of signal data signature classifiers that have been trained using a ML-derived blueprint for signal data signature classifiers using paired signal data signature and respiratory condition dataset. The signal data signature detection system receives input paired signal data signature data and a corresponding label that indicates the presence or absence of a medical condition. The signal data signature detection system includes of computer hardware that when executed by a processor performs the following steps: 1) splits the paired signal data signature dataset into a training, testing, and validation datasets; 2) defines the model defines unique class boundaries for each class within the paired training signal data signature dataset; 3) utilizes the natural boundaries within the paired training signal data signature dataset to define a source and target models such that the source model will be developed with the entire training dataset and the target models will be developed with subsets of the paired signal data signature training dataset; 4) signal data signature classifier techniques such as feature extractors, weight-adjustment, and tuning layers will be applied to the target models; 5) target models and source model will be tuned using the paired testing signal data signature dataset; 6) the target models and source model will be used as a compendium of signal data signature classifiers on the unseen paired signal data signature testing dataset. The signal data signature detection system includes of input data paired signal data signature recording data with a label and computer hardware that when executed by a processor returns a compendium of signal data signature classifiers, such that when the signal data signature detection system receives another signal data signature recording without a label the signal data signature detection system will return an output label that can be viewed by a hardware display media or paper. 
     Advantages of the signal data signature detection system are the following 1) can generate a compendium of signal data signature classifiers from data, 2) can generate a compendium of signal data signature classifiers that can be used to predict a label from an unlabeled signal data signature recording, 3) generates signal data signature classifiers that can be used to diagnose acute and/or chronic conditions.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Signal Data Signature Detection System 
       FIGS. 1 through 7  illustrate systems and methods of signal data signature detection and machine learning model training. The following embodiments provide technical solutions and/or technical improvements that overcome technical problems, drawbacks and/or deficiencies in the technical fields involving model training and machine learning techniques for efficient use of data in the presence of data barriers. As explained in more detail, below, technical solutions and/or technical improvements herein include aspects of improved machine learning model training utilizing-federated data, machine learning and swarm learning for a derived strategic blueprint facilitating machine learning across data boundaries. Based on such technical features, further technical benefits become available to users and operators of these systems and methods. Moreover, various practical applications of the disclosed technology are also described, which provide further practical benefits to users and operators that are also new and useful improvements in the art. 
     The present disclosure relates generally to machine learning classifiers. Embodiments of the present disclosure include signal data signature detection, signal data signature classification, utilizing-a strategic machine learning as a method and system for use of federated data, machine learning and swarm learning for a derived strategic blueprint facilitating machine learning across data boundaries. In some embodiments, the derived strategic blueprint is formed from a compendium of signal data signature classifiers from training data whereby a signal data signature classifier is used based on the natural decision boundaries within the signal data signature that exchange data across data boundaries by using deep learning, transfer learning to exchange model features and Swarm learning to disseminate these model features to multiple instances of the same AI/ML ensembles. 
     Many sources for data boundaries that impede the use of data to train machine learning models may exist. For example, in data localization, countries impose requirements for organizations to use local data storage or technology, which prevents communicating the data beyond a particular locale and create unnecessary duplication and cost. The use of transfer learning for cross border flow of model features without cross border data flow provides a solution and principle that mitigate these risks without restricting the benefits of machine learning. 
     In some embodiments, a technical solution may include to classify and tag signal data signatures from datasets then flow the model features derived by AI/ML Deep Learning across data borders using Transfer Learning. In some embodiments, the technical solution may be accomplished with a signal data signature detection system that includes of hardware devices (e.g., desktop, laptop, servers, tablet, mobile phones, etc.), storage devices (e.g., hard drive disk, floppy disk, compact disk (CD), secure digital card, solid state drive, cloud storage, etc.), delivery devices (paper, electronic display), a computer program or plurality of computer programs, and a processor or plurality of processors. A signal data signature detection system when executed on a processor (e.g., CPU, GPU) would be able to identify a specific signal data signature from other types of signal data signatures and delivered to clinicians and/or end-users through a delivery device (paper, electronic display). The model features derived from the signal data signatures flow across data boundaries using transfer learning. 
     The free and efficient flow of data allows machine learning models and other data analytics solutions to access the global range and quality of services, and permits such data analytics solutions to more efficiently leverage the analysis from across data barriers while overcoming technical hurdles with accessing data. For example:
         Services can emerge and be adopted in one national market, then expand readily to other markets, bringing benefits for consumers and businesses.   Startup businesses can have a global reach from Day One by establishing an internet presence that is simultaneously national and international.   Internet infrastructure suppliers, such as cloud computing providers and mobile operators, can structure their services to serve large numbers of clients in multiple markets without exporting local data.   Software platforms can scale up (and down) in development, making direct or indirect use of cloud and Software-as-Medical-Device (SaMD) providers.       

     In some embodiments, a Data Management (MDM) architectural model may help bridge a gap among organizations, technologies, and users that results from data barriers. Enterprise Data Management, an IT discipline, is composed of a set of tools and processes to define enterprise data entities of an organization. Enterprise data management objectives are to organize and manage the organization&#39;s enterprise data. In some embodiments, the MDM may include an architectural type including, e.g., Centralized, Federated or a combination thereof. 
     In some embodiments, in a Centralized Data Model (CDM), data may be consolidated in one repository. Using CDM may resolve data duplications, inconsistent master data, and improve data quality. However, implementing CDM may require users to overcome challenges such as crossing data barriers, geographical locations of the applications, cost of the implementation, and compliance with privacy rules and regulations. 
     In some embodiments, a Federated Data Model (FDM) may enable an organization to extend data and business services to inquire data from multiple sources. An FDM may make data available to all users and/or partners of an organization. Yet, implementing FDM comes with many challenges such as data barriers, synchronization of data between transactional and master data, network connectivity between the sources and MDM hub, privacy rules and regulations, performance, maintenance, and identifying roles and responsibilities. 
     In some embodiments, AI/ML model features derived from Centralized Data and/or Federated Data is not subject to cross border data flow restrictions because the AI/ML model features are the product of the AI/ML Deep Learning processing of the source data and no longer contains the source data itself. Similarly, the AI/ML model features contain no personal data or identifiers and therefore is not subject to cross border data flow data privacy rules or regulations. Additionally, the movement of the AI/ML model features may provide network and storage efficiencies that would not be possible with transferring training data, which may include much larger quantities of data. 
     Determining which architectural model is suitable for a particular platform depends on several factors; including use of the platform data, number of applications (domains) that will use the master data, derivation of model features, cross border data flow rules and regulations, development and availability costs, delivery schedule, performance, efficiency, limitations, risk, training, operations, compliances, deployment, security, accessibility, dependability, data quality, stability, maintainability, reliability, availability, flexibility, scalability, predictability and cross border data privacy rules and regulations. 
       FIG. 1A  illustrates a signal data signature detection system  100  with the following components: input  101 , hardware  102 , software  109 , and output  118 . The input is a signal data signature recording such as a signal data signature recording captured by a sensor, a signal data signature recording captured on a mobile device, and a signal data signature recording captured on any other device, among others. The input  101  may be provided by an individual, individuals or a system and recorded by a hardware device  102  such as a computer  103  with a memory  104 , processor  105  and or network controller  106 . A hardware device is able to access data sources  108  via internal storage or through the network controller  106 , which connects to a network  107 . 
     In some embodiments, the signal data signature detection system  100  may identify a classification label that indicates the presence or absence of a disease when the system is provided with unbalanced paired signal data signature recordings and their corresponding disease labels and another unlabeled signal data signature recording. These embodiments are advantageous for identifying classification labels such as, e.g., underlying respiratory illnesses for providing in-home, easy to use diagnostics for respiratory conditions, such as, e.g., COVID-19, bronchitis, pneumonia, among others or any combination thereof. 
     In some embodiments, in order to achieve a software program that is able, either fully or partially, to detect and diagnose signal data signatures, that program generates a compendium of signal data signature classifiers  121  from a training dataset. Another challenge is that such a program must be able to scale and process large datasets. 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to the signal data signature detection system  100  whereby a signal data recording (the input  101 ) is provided by an individual or individuals(s) or system into a computer hardware whereby labeled data sources and unlabeled data source(s) are stored on a storage medium and then the labeled data sources and unlabeled data source(s) are used as input to a computer program or computer programs which when executed by a processor(s) provides compendium of signal data signature classifiers  121  saved to a hardware device as executable source code such that when executed by a processor(s) with an unlabeled data source(s) generates an output label(s) (the output  118 ) which is shown on a hardware device such as a display screen or sent to a hardware device such as a printer where it manifests as physical printed paper that indicates the diagnosis of the input signal data recording and signal data signature. 
     In some embodiments, the data sources  108  that are retrieved by a hardware device  102  in one of other possible embodiments includes for example but not limited to: 1) imbalanced paired training dataset of signal data signature recordings and labels and unlabeled signal data signature recording, 2) balanced paired training dataset of signal data signature recordings and labels and unlabeled signal data signature recording, 3) imbalanced paired training dataset of video recordings and labels and unlabeled video recording, 4) imbalanced paired training dataset of video recordings and labels and unlabeled signal data signature recording, 5) paired training dataset of signal data signature recordings and labels and unlabeled video recording. In some embodiments, a “balanced” training dataset may include an equal number of training signal data signature records for each classification, such as equal numbers of training data for each of a first classification and for a second classification in a binary classification, such as, e.g., a positive and a negative classification in a diagnosis classification. In some embodiments, an “imbalanced” training dataset may include an unequal number of training signal data signature records for a first classification and for a second classification in a binary classification, such as, e.g., a positive and a negative classification in a diagnosis classification. Example ratios for an imbalanced training dataset may include, e.g., 70:30, 50:25:25, 60:40, 60:20:20, or any other suitable ratio. Such a training scheme influences the training, machine learning and probability predictions of the classifiers trained with the balanced and/or unbalanced SDS data sets. Unbalanced sets tend to bias the ML towards the higher ratio SDS as a prediction where balanced sets tend to bias towards more equal probabilities. 
     In some embodiments, the data sources  108  and the signal data signature recording input  101  are stored in memory or a memory unit  104  and passed to a software  109  such as computer program or computer programs that executes the instruction set on a processor  105 . The software  109  being a computer program executes a signal data signature detector system  110  and a signal data signature classification system  111 . The signal data signature classification system  111  executes a signal data signature classifier system  112  on a processor  105  such that the paired training dataset is used to train machine learning (ML) models  113  that generate boundaries within the dataset  114  whereby the boundaries inform the scope and datasets of target model(s)  121  and the source model  116 , such that knowledge is transferred  117  from the source model  116  to the target model(s)  121 . 
     In some embodiments, the boundaries may include thresholds set for determination of a diagnosis based on the classifier predictions. For example, if the predictions from the classifier span 0.001 (not COVID) to 0.999 (IS COVID) then thresholds (boundaries) are used to determine the lower limit for IS COVID prediction values, such as, 0.689, above which the diagnosis is COVID. While a NOT COVID prediction value threshold (boundary), say 0.355 defines the limit below which the diagnosis is no COVID disease. Between the boundaries (0.3551 to 0.6889) is indeterminant. In some embodiments, the thresholds may be learned via the training of the ML models  113 , experimentally determined, or determined by any other suitable technique.

     In one or more embodiments of the signal data signature classifier system  111  software  109  includes the signal data signature classifier system  112  which will be described in detail in the following section. 
     In one or more embodiments of the signal data signature detection system  100  the output  118  includes a strongly labeled signal data signature recording and identification of signal data signature type. An example would be signal data signature sample from a patient which would include: 1) a label of the identified signal data signature type, 2) or flag that tells the user that a signal data signature was not detected. The output  118  of signal data signature type or message that a signal data signature was not detected will be delivered to an end user via a display medium such as but not limited to a display screen  119  (e.g., tablet, mobile phone, computer screen) and/or paper  120 .

In some embodiments, the audio recording may be a single cough, and the signal data signature classifier system  111  may label the start time and the end time of the single cough to extract the segment of the audio recording having the cough. 
     Signal Data Signature Classifier System 
     In some embodiments, a signal data signature classifier system  112  with real-time training of machine learning models  113  and the real-time training of model(s)  121  and the source model  116 , hardware  102 , software  109 , and output  118 .  FIG. 2 . illustrates an input to the signal data signature classifier system  112  that may include but is not limited to paired training dataset of signal data signature recordings and corresponding signal data signature labels and an unpaired signal data signature recording  101  that is first received and processed as a signal data signature wave by a hardware device such as a microphone  200 . In addition, the signal data signature labels may be input into the signal data signature classifier system using a physical hardware device such as a keyboard. 
     In some embodiments, the signal data signature classifier system  112  uses a hardware  102 , which includes of a memory or memory unit  104 , and processor  105  such that software  109 , a computer program or computer programs is executed on a processor  105  and trains in real-time a set of signal data signature classifiers. The output from signal data signature classifier system  112  is a label  118  that matches and diagnosis a signal data signature recording file. A user is able to the signal data signature type output  118  on a display screen  119  or printed paper  120 . 
     In some embodiments, the signal data signature classifier system  112  may be configured to utilize one or more exemplary AI/machine learning techniques chosen from, but not limited to, decision trees, boosting, support-vector machines, neural networks, nearest neighbor algorithms, Naive Bayes, bagging, random forests, and the like. In some embodiments and, optionally, in combination of any embodiment described above or below, an exemplary neutral network technique may be one of, without limitation, feedforward neural network, radial basis function network, recurrent neural network, convolutional network (e.g., U-net) or other suitable network. In some embodiments and, optionally, in combination of any embodiment described above or below, an exemplary implementation of Neural Network may be executed as follows:
         a. define Neural Network architecture/model,   b. transfer the input data to the exemplary neural network model,   c. train the exemplary model incrementally,   d. determine the accuracy for a specific number of timesteps,   e. apply the exemplary trained model to process the newly-received input data,   f. optionally and in parallel, continue to train the exemplary trained model with a predetermined periodicity.       

     In some embodiments and, optionally, in combination of any embodiment described above or below, the exemplary trained neural network model may specify a neural network by at least a neural network topology, a series of activation functions, and connection weights. For example, the topology of a neural network may include a configuration of nodes of the neural network and connections between such nodes. In some embodiments and, optionally, in combination of any embodiment described above or below, the exemplary trained neural network model may also be specified to include other parameters, including but not limited to, bias values/functions and/or aggregation functions. For example, an activation function of a node may be a step function, sine function, continuous or piecewise linear function, sigmoid function, hyperbolic tangent function, or other type of mathematical function that represents a threshold at which the node is activated. In some embodiments and, optionally, in combination of any embodiment described above or below, the exemplary aggregation function may be a mathematical function that combines (e.g., sum, product, etc.) input signals to the node. In some embodiments and, optionally, in combination of any embodiment described above or below, an output of the exemplary aggregation function may be used as input to the exemplary activation function. In some embodiments and, optionally, in combination of any embodiment described above or below, the bias may be a constant value or function that may be used by the aggregation function and/or the activation function to make the node more or less likely to be activated. 
     In some embodiments, training the set of signal data signature classifiers may include transfer learning to share model features amongst the signal data signature classifiers in the set of signal data signature classifiers. In some embodiments, the model features may include, e.g., Fast Formant Transform spectrogram, MEL spectrogram, MFCC Spectrogram, as well as specific spectrum features such as formant configuration or formant slurring, among other features or any combination thereof. 
     As illustrated  FIG. 1B , a source model including the signal data signature classifier model  116  may output source labels  118  based on a large set of source data  108 . Through transfer learning, learned features of the source model  116  may be provided across a data barrier  10  to a target model in the compendium of source signal data classifiers  121 . As a result, the target model  121  may output target labels  148  based on the transfer learning using the learned features and a smaller set of local target data  138 , thus preserving privacy, confidentiality, network resources and storage resources while transferring model learned across a data barrier  10 . In some embodiments, the transfer learning of learned features may include a transfer of internal neural network connections rather than the data used to train the connections, thus preserving the privacy of the data and complying with, e.g., data boundaries and other data barriers. 
     In some embodiments, there may be different transfer learning strategies and techniques, which can be applied based on the domain, task at hand, and the availability of data. Thus, transfer learning methods can be categorized based on the type of traditional ML algorithms involved, such as:
         Inductive Transfer learning: In this scenario, the source and target domains are the same, yet the source and target tasks are different from each other. The algorithms try to utilize the inductive biases of the source domain to help improve the target task. Depending upon whether the source domain contains labeled data or not, this can be further divided into two subcategories, similar to multitask learning and self-taught learning, respectively.   Unsupervised Transfer Learning: This setting is similar to inductive transfer itself, with a focus on unsupervised tasks in the target domain. The source and target domains are similar, but the tasks are different. In this scenario, labeled data is unavailable in either of the domains.   Transductive Transfer Learning: In this scenario, there are similarities between the source and target tasks, but the corresponding domains are different. In this setting, the source domain has a lot of labeled data, while the target domain has none. This can be further classified into subcategories, referring to settings where either the feature spaces are different or the marginal probabilities.       

     The three transfer categories discussed in the previous section outline different settings where transfer learning can be applied, and studied in detail. To answer the question of what to transfer across these categories, some of the following approaches can be applied:
         Instance transfer: In some embodiments, one or more signal data signature classifiers may reuse knowledge from a source domain for a target task. In some embodiments, “knowledge” of the classifier may include, e.g., internal neural network connections that compose and define the hidden layers of the classifiers. Thus, the instance transfer may include a transfer of internal neural network connections. In most cases, the source domain data cannot be reused directly. Rather, there are certain instances from the source domain that can be reused along with target data to improve results. In case of inductive transfer, modifications such as AdaBoost, which may help utilize training instances from the source domain for improvements in the target task.   Feature-representation transfer: In some embodiments, feature representation transfer may minimize domain divergence and reduce error rates by identifying “good” feature representations that can be utilized from the source domain to target domains, where “good” refers to a signal data signature characteristics that are specific and/or unique to a specific disease state and/or health state. Depending upon the availability of labeled data, supervised or unsupervised methods may be applied for feature-representation-based transfers.   Parameter transfer: This approach works on the assumption that the models for related tasks share some parameters or prior distribution of hyperparameters. Unlike multitask learning, where both the source and target tasks are learned simultaneously, for transfer learning, we may apply additional weightage to the loss of the target domain to improve overall performance.   Relational-knowledge transfer: Unlike the preceding three approaches, the relational-knowledge transfer attempts to handle non-IID data, such as data that is not independent and identically distributed. In other words, data, where each data point has a relationship with other data points; for instance, social network data utilizes relational-knowledge-transfer techniques.       

       FIG. 1C ,  FIG. 1D  and the following table summarizes the relationship between different transfer learning strategies and what to transfer.

     These strategies are general approaches which can be applied towards machine learning techniques. In some embodiments, transfer learning may be applied in the context of deep learning models, which may represent inductive learning. In some embodiments, the objective for inductive-learning algorithms is to infer a mapping from a set of training examples. For instance, in cases of classification, such as signal data classification, the model learns mapping between input features and class labels. In order for such a learner to generalize well on unseen data, its algorithm works with a set of assumptions related to the distribution of the training data. These sets of assumptions are known as inductive bias. The inductive bias or assumptions can be characterized by multiple factors, such as the hypothesis space it restricts to and the search process through the hypothesis space. Thus, these biases impact how and what is learned by the model on the given task and domain. 
     In some embodiments, inductive transfer techniques may utilize the inductive biases of the source task to assist the target task, such as by adjusting the inductive bias of the target task by limiting the model space, narrowing down the hypothesis space, or making adjustments to the search process itself with the help of knowledge from the source task. In some embodiments, inductive-learning algorithms may also utilize Bayesian and Hierarchical transfer techniques to assist with improvements in the learning and performance of the target task. 
     Deep learning has made considerable progress in recent years. This has enabled us to tackle complex problems and yield amazing results. However, the training time and the amount of data required for such deep learning systems are much more than that of traditional ML systems. Accordingly, in some embodiments, one or more pre-trained deep learning networks with state-of-the-art performance that have been developed and tested across domains may form the basis of transfer learning in the context of deep learning, or deep transfer learning. In some embodiments, the sound signal data classifiers may thus take advantage of the cross-domain deep learning network(s) via transfer learning. The transfer learning process can leverage the training of the pre-trained deep learning network across a data barrier provide training for the sound signal data classifiers without the need for large training data sets. 
     AI-based solutions rely intrinsically on appropriate algorithms, but even more so on large training datasets. As medicine is inherently decentral, the volume of local data is often insufficient to train reliable classifiers. As a consequence, centralization of data is one model that has been used to address the local limitations. While beneficial from an AI perspective, centralized solutions have inherent disadvantages, including increased data traffic and concerns about data ownership, confidentiality, privacy, security and the creation of data monopolies that favor data aggregators. Consequently, solutions to the challenges of central AI models must be effective, accurate and efficient; must preserve confidentiality, privacy and ethics; and must be secure and fault-tolerant by design. Federated AI addresses some of these aspects. Data are kept locally and local confidentiality issues are addressed, but model parameters are still handled by central custodians, which concentrates power. 
     Furthermore, such star-shaped architectures decrease fault tolerance. In some embodiments, partially and/or completely decentralized AI solutions may overcome current shortcomings, and accommodate inherently decentral data structures and data privacy and security regulations in medicine. In some embodiments, integration of the signal data signature classifier system in a federated learning architecture may:
         1) keep large medical data locally with the data owner;   2) require no exchange of raw data, thereby also reducing data traffic and preventing cross border data flow;   3) provide high-level data security;   4) guarantee secure, transparent and fair onboarding of decentral members of the network without the need for a central custodian;   5) allow parameter merging with equal rights for all members; and   6) protect machine learning models from attacks.       

     In some embodiments, the federated learning architecture of the signal data signature classifier system  111  may include Swarm Learning (SL), which combines decentralized hardware infrastructures, distributed machine learning based on standardized AI engines with a permissioned blockchain to securely onboard members, to dynamically elect the leader among members, and to merge model parameters. Computation is orchestrated by an SL library (SLL) and an iterative AI learning procedure that uses decentral data (Supplementary Information). 
       FIG. 1E  and  FIG. 1F  illustrates a Swarm Learning architecture for cross-barrier learning in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. 
     In some embodiments, Swarm Learning is a decentralized, privacy-preserving Machine Learning framework. This framework utilizes the computing power at, or near, the distributed data sources to run the Machine Learning algorithms that train the models. It uses the security of a blockchain platform to share learnings with peers in a safe and secure manner. In Swarm Learning, training of the model occurs at the edge, where data is most recent, and where prompt, data-driven decisions are mostly necessary. In this completely decentralized architecture, only the insights learned are shared with the collaborating ML peers, not the raw data. This tremendously enhances data security and privacy. In FIG. 1 of Swarm Learning, Org-1 through Org-4 represent four separate installations of the same or related AI/ML Deep learning neural networks in four separate national regions with cross border data flow restrictions and disparate data privacy rules and regulations. SPIRE Federation represents the deep learning model features derived from the Federated and/or Centralized Data in each national region. The SPIRE Federation employs deep learning transfer to synchronize the deep learning model features across the four national regions (ORG-1 through ORG-4): 
     In some embodiments, Swarm Learning may include five components, connected to form a network:
         Swarm Learning (SL) nodes—These nodes run a user-defined Machine Learning algorithm. This algorithm is called the Swarm Learning ML Program. The Swarm Learning ML Program program is responsible for training and updating the model in an iterative fashion. In some embodiments, the Swarm Learning ML program may be a Keras (TensorFlow 2 backend) or PyTorch based Machine Learning algorithm that is implemented using Python3, or any other suitable tooling for the machine learning algorithm.   Swarm Network (SN) nodes—In some embodiments, these nodes form the blockchain network. In some embodiments, the Swarm Network nodes interact with each other using the blockchain platform to maintain global state information about the model that is being trained and to track progress (note that only metadata is written to the blockchain. The model itself is not stored in the blockchain.) In some embodiments, tSwarm Network nodes use this state and progress information to coordinate the working of the Swarm Learning nodes. Each Swarm Learning node registers itself with a Swarm Network node as a part of its startup and initialization.   Sentinel node: In some embodiments, the is a special Swarm Network node. The Sentinel node is responsible for initializing the blockchain network and may be the first node to start.   Swarm Learning Command Interface node (SWCI)—In some embodiments, the SWCI node is the command interface tool to the Swarm Learning framework. In some embodiments, the SWCI node may be used to view the status, control and manage the swarm learning framework. In some embodiments, the SWCI may use a secure link to connect to the Swarm Network node, using the application programming interface (API) port. In some embodiments, the SWCI node can connect to any of the SN nodes in a given Swarm Learning framework to manage the framework.   Server nodes—In some embodiments, the server nodes provide the security for the whole network. In some embodiments, the platform may run one or more Server nodes that are connected together to form a federation. In some embodiments, the platform includes an Agent Workload Attestor plugin (not shown in the figure) that communicates with the Servers to attest the identities of the Swarm Network and Swarm Learning nodes, acquire and manage a Verifiable Identity Document (VID).   License Server node—In some embodiments, the license to run the Swarm Learning platform is installed and managed by the License Server node.       

     In some embodiments, Swarm Learning nodes works in collaboration with other Swarm Learning nodes in the network. In some embodiments, each swarm learning node regularly shares its deep transfer learning model features with the other nodes and incorporates their insights. This process continues until the Swarm Learning nodes train the model to desired state. 
       FIG. 2  depicts a partial view of the signal data signature classifier system  112  with an input signal data signature recording  101  captured using a physical hardware device, microphone  200 ; such that the signal data signature signal is captured as a .wav file  201 , or any other type of computer readable signal data signature signal formatted file, and is then pre-processed  202 . Signal Data Signature Pre-Processing  202  imposes a few, basic standards upon the sample. This filter acts to address three quality-centric concerns, specifically; Stereo to Mono Compatibility, Peak Input Loudness Level, and Attenuation of Unrelated Low Frequencies. 
     In some embodiments, the first function of the filter which addresses Stereo to Mono Compatibility, combines the two channels of stereo information into one single mono representation. This ensures that only a single perspective of the signal is being considered or analyzed at one time. 
     In some embodiments, once the signal is summed to mono, it is then normalized, and brought up to its loudest possible peak level while preserving all other spectral characteristics of the source; including frequency content, dynamic range as well as the signal to noise ratio of the sound. 
     Finally, in some embodiments, the last step is to remove any unwanted low frequency noises that could obscure the analysis of the target sound of the source file. This is achieved by implementing a High Pass Filter, with a Cutoff of 80 hz at a slope of −36 dB/8va (Oct). 
     In some embodiments, once signal data signature preprocessing is complete, feature extraction algorithms operate on the pre-processed signal data signature file generating feature extraction  203  which along with or without symptoms  204 , medical history  205  are feed into a feature vector  206 . The feature vector  206  is used as an input to train machine-learning model(s)  113  which result in an ensemble of n classifiers  207 . The ensemble of n classifiers is used to define the natural boundaries  114  in the training dataset. 
       FIG. 3  depicts an illustrative signal data signature classifier system in accordance with aspects of embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, referring to  FIG. 3 , the signal data signature is captured by a mobile phone or other mobile device using an app or a web client ( 301 ). The signal data signature passes through a pre-processing filter as describer for ( 202 ) above and for ( 302 ) in this figure. The signal data signature is filtered using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) help direct signal data signatures ( 303 ) to the correct classifiers. The data then flows through a parallel data pipeline ( 304 ). The signal data signature is passed to a comparison classifier ( 305 ) for the purpose of determining whether or not the submitted signal data signature matches the baseline cluster of signal data signatures for the user. Simultaneously, the data is passed to multiple identical convolutional neural network classifiers (CNN) ( 306 ) existing as instances in identical environments trained with randomly selected signal data signatures from a large pool of calibration quality signal data signatures classify the incoming signal data signature ( 306 ). The relative probability of a signal data signature matching a signal data signature library in each classifier is passed to a deterministic oracle/algorithm ( 307 ) provides a a diagnosis 
       FIG. 4  depicts a block diagram of an exemplary computer-based system and platform  400  in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. However, not all of these components may be required to practice one or more embodiments, and variations in the arrangement and type of the components may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of various embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the illustrative computing devices and the illustrative computing components of the exemplary computer-based system and platform  400  may be configured to manage a large number of members and concurrent transactions, as detailed herein.
