Speech-based machine learning (ML) has been heralded as a promising solution for tracking prosodic and spectrotemporal patterns in real-life that are indicative of emotional changes, providing a valuable window into one's cognitive and…
In this paper, we explore self-supervised learning (SSL) for analyzing a first-of-its-kind database of cry recordings containing clinical indications of more than a thousand newborns. Specifically, we target cry-based detection of…
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into clinical research has great potential to reveal patterns that are difficult for humans to detect, creating impactful connections between inputs and clinical outcomes. However, these…
In this paper, we propose a model to perform style transfer of speech to singing voice. Contrary to the previous signal processing-based methods, which require high-quality singing templates or phoneme synchronization, we explore a…
The analysis of speech measures in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can provide essential information for early diagnosis and tracking disease progression. However, current methods for extracting speech and pause…
Over half of US adults with Alzheimer disease and related dementias remain undiagnosed, and speech-based screening offers a scalable detection approach. We compared large language model adaptation strategies for dementia detection using the…
Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by identifying abnormal speech patterns from examiner-patient dialogues presents significant challenges due to the subtle and diverse manifestations of speech-related symptoms in affected…
State of the art speech enhancement (SE) models achieve strong performance on neurotypical speech, but their effectiveness is substantially reduced for pathological speech. In this paper, we investigate strategies to address this gap for…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) is a powerful technique for learning representations from unlabeled data. Transformer based models such as HuBERT, which consist a feature extractor and transformer layers, are leading the field in the speech…
In this paper, we introduce a streaming keyphrase detection system that can be easily customized to accurately detect any phrase composed of words from a large vocabulary. The system is implemented with an end-to-end trained automatic…
Federated Learning (FL) emerged as a solution for collaborative medical image classification while preserving data privacy. However, label noise, which arises from inter-institutional data variability, can cause training instability and…
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence has become a powerful partner for complex tasks such as data analysis, prediction, and problem-solving, yet its lack of transparency raises concerns about its reliability. In sensitive domains such…
Data augmentation methods usually apply the same augmentation (or a mix of them) to all the training samples. For example, to perturb data with noise, the noise is sampled from a Normal distribution with a fixed standard deviation, for all…
Speech recognisers usually perform optimally only in a specific environment and need to be adapted to work well in another. For adaptation to a new speaker, there is often too little data for fine-tuning to be robust, and that data is…
In a world where artificial intelligence and data science become omnipresent, data sharing is increasingly locking horns with data-privacy concerns. Differential privacy has emerged as a rigorous framework for protecting individual privacy…
Speech and language technologies offer valuable opportunities for supporting mental health assessment through objective and interpretable cues. We present a systematic feature-based analysis framework leveraging perceptually grounded…
Speech separation aims to separate multiple speech sources from a speech mixture. Although speech separation is well-solved on some existing English speech separation benchmarks, it is worthy of more investigation on the generalizability of…
It is well known that speaker identification performs extremely well in the neutral talking environments; however, the identification performance is declined sharply in the shouted talking environments. This work aims at proposing,…
We present a self-supervised speech restoration method without paired speech corpora. Because the previous general speech restoration method uses artificial paired data created by applying various distortions to high-quality speech corpora,…
The growing Machine Learning (ML) services require extensive collections of user data, which may inadvertently include people's private information irrelevant to the services. Various studies have been proposed to protect private attributes…
