Sleep apnea is a common respiratory disorder characterized by breathing pauses during the night. Consequences of untreated sleep apnea can be severe. Still, many people remain undiagnosed due to shortages of hospital beds and trained sleep…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology can aid in the detection, monitoring, and assessment of depressive symptoms in individuals. ASR systems have been used as a tool to analyze speech patterns and characteristics that are…
Traditional screening practices for anxiety and depression pose an impediment to monitoring and treating these conditions effectively. However, recent advances in NLP and speech modelling allow textual, acoustic, and hand-crafted…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) constitutes a complex neurocognitive disease and is the main cause of dementia. Although many studies have been proposed targeting at diagnosing dementia through spontaneous speech, there are still limitations.…
The precise categorization of white blood cell (WBC) is crucial for diagnosing blood-related disorders. However, manual analysis in clinical settings is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors. Numerous studies have employed…
Feature fusion, the combination of features from different layers or branches, is an omnipresent part of modern network architectures. It is often implemented via simple operations, such as summation or concatenation, but this might not be…
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a serious and prevalent condition, and acoustic analysis via consumer devices (e.g. smartphones) offers a low-cost solution to screening for it. We present a novel approach for the acoustic identification…
Perceptual voice quality assessment plays a vital role in diagnosing and monitoring voice disorders. Traditional methods, such as the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) and the Grade, Roughness, Breathiness,…
Audio classification is considered as a challenging problem in pattern recognition. Recently, many algorithms have been proposed using deep neural networks. In this paper, we introduce a new attention-based neural network architecture…
This paper introduces a new neural structure called FusionNet, which extends existing attention approaches from three perspectives. First, it puts forward a novel concept of "history of word" to characterize attention information from the…
Point clouds and images could provide complementary information when representing 3D objects. Fusing the two kinds of data usually helps to improve the detection results. However, it is challenging to fuse the two data modalities, due to…
