  "summary": "Cough acoustics are promising for non-invasive tuberculosis (TB) screening, yet whether machine learning (ML) models capture disease-related acoustics or artifacts of data collection remains unresolved. We evaluated the cross-dataset generalizability of classical ML and deep learning (DL) cough-based TB classifiers across three independent datasets. Despite moderate within-dataset performance…",
