	%X Cardiologists perform cardiac auscultation to detect
abnormalities in heart sounds. Since accurate auscultation is
a crucial first step in screening patients with heart diseases,
there is a need to develop computer-aided detection/diagnosis
(CAD) systems to assist cardiologists in interpreting heart sounds
and provide second opinions. In this paper different algorithms
are implemented for automated heart sound classification using
unsegmented phonocardiogram (PCG) signals. Support vector
machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN) and cartesian
genetic programming evolved artificial neural network (CGPANN)
without the application of any segmentation algorithm has been
explored in this study. The signals are first pre-processed to remove
any unwanted frequencies. Both time and frequency domain features
are then extracted for training the different models. The different
algorithms are tested in multiple scenarios and their strengths and
weaknesses are discussed. Results indicate that SVM outperforms
the rest with an accuracy of 73.64%.
