Parkinson's disease (PD) is a non-curable disease that commonly found among elders that greatly reduce their quality of life. PD primarily affects the gait pattern and slowly changes the walking gait from the normality to disability. The…
Goal: Numerous studies had successfully differentiated normal and abnormal voice samples. Nevertheless, further classification had rarely been attempted. This study proposes a novel approach, using continuous Mandarin speech instead of a…
Evaluating neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) is a challenging task that requires the assessment of several motor and non-motor functions. In this paper, we present an end-to-end deep learning framework to measure PD…
Parkinsons disease is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder with over ten million active cases worldwide and one million new diagnoses per year. Detecting and subsequently diagnosing the disease is challenging because of…
Recently proposed automatic pathological speech classification techniques use unsupervised auto-encoders to obtain a high-level abstract representation of speech. Since these representations are learned based on reconstructing the input,…
Parkinsons Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder resulting in motor deficits due to advancing degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. PD patients report experiencing tremor, rigidity, visual impairment, bradykinesia, and several…
The automatic identification of medication states of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients can assist clinicians in monitoring and scheduling personalized treatments, as well as studying the effects of medication in alleviating the motor…
Speech based depression classification has gained immense popularity over the recent years. However, most of the classification studies have focused on binary classification to distinguish depressed subjects from non-depressed subjects. In…
Early and accurate identification of parkinsonian syndromes (PS) involving presynaptic degeneration from non-degenerative variants such as Scans Without Evidence of Dopaminergic Deficit (SWEDD) and tremor disorders, is important for…
The incidence rate of voice diseases is increasing year by year. The use of software for remote diagnosis is a technical development trend and has important practical value. Among voice diseases, common diseases that cause hoarseness…
One major challenge in the medication of Parkinson's disease is that the severity of the disease, reflected in the patients' motor state, cannot be measured using accessible biomarkers. Therefore, we develop and examine a variety of…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease with early manifestation of motor signs. Recently, there has been a growing interest in developing automatic tools that can assess motor function in PD patients.…
People with Parkinson's disease must be regularly monitored by their physician to observe how the disease is progressing and potentially adjust treatment plans to mitigate the symptoms. Monitoring the progression of the disease through a…
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a chronic, degenerative disorder which leads to a range of motor and cognitive symptoms. PD diagnosis is a challenging task since its symptoms are very similar to other diseases such as normal ageing and…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic and complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by genetic, clinical, and lifestyle factors. Predicting this disease early is challenging because it depends on traditional diagnostic methods that face…
The performance of voice-based Parkinson's disease (PD) detection systems degrades when there is an acoustic mismatch between training and operating conditions caused mainly by degradation in test signals. In this paper, we address this…
Accurate evaluation of Parkinsons disease (PD) severity is essential for effective clinical management and intervention development. Despite the proposal of several gesture based PD recognition systems, including those using the finger…
Multi-frame approaches for single-microphone speech enhancement, e.g., the multi-frame minimum-power-distortionless-response (MFMPDR) filter, are able to exploit speech correlations across neighboring time frames. In contrast to…
We present InceptoFormer, a multi-signal neural framework designed for Parkinson's Disease (PD) severity evaluation via gait dynamics analysis. Our architecture introduces a 1D adaptation of the Inception model, which we refer to as…
A novel text-independent speaker identification (SI) method is proposed. This method uses the Mel-frequency Cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and the dynamic information among adjacent frames as feature sets to capture speaker's…
