This paper focuses on the analysis and synthesis of hypo and hyperarticulated speech in the framework of HMM-based speech synthesis. First of all, a new French database matching our needs was created, which contains three identical sets,…
The explosion of misinformation spreading in the media ecosystem urges for automated fact-checking. While misinformation spans both geographic and linguistic boundaries, most work in the field has focused on English. Datasets and tools…
Speech-based depression detection has shown promise as an objective diagnostic tool, yet the cross-linguistic robustness of acoustic markers and their neurobiological underpinnings remain underexplored. This study extends Cross-Data…
Speech is a rich biomarker that encodes substantial information about the health of a speaker, and thus it has been proposed for the detection of numerous diseases, achieving promising results. However, questions remain about what the…
Chinese Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) error correction presents significant challenges due to the Chinese language's unique features, including a large character set and borderless, morpheme-based structure. Current mainstream models…
Language assessment plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating individuals with speech, language, and communication disorders caused by neurogenic conditions, whether developmental or acquired. However, current assessment methods are…
Stuttering is a speech disorder during which the flow of speech is interrupted by involuntary pauses and repetition of sounds. Stuttering identification is an interesting interdisciplinary domain research problem which involves pathology,…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmias that affects the lives of more than 3 million people in the U.S. and over 33 million people around the world and is associated with a five-fold increased risk of…
The early and accurate diagnosis of sepsis is critical for enhancing patient outcomes. This study aims to use heart rate variability (HRV) features to develop an effective predictive model for sepsis detection. Critical HRV features are…
Considering the importance of detecting hateful language, labeled hate speech data is expensive and time-consuming to collect, particularly for low-resource languages. Prior work has demonstrated the effectiveness of cross-lingual transfer…
Objective: This paper presents a novel heart sound segmentation algorithm based on Temporal-Framing Adaptive Network (TFAN), including state transition loss and dynamic inference for decoding the most likely state sequence. Methods: In…
Sememes are minimum semantic units of concepts in human languages, such that each word sense is composed of one or multiple sememes. Words are usually manually annotated with their sememes by linguists, and form linguistic common-sense…
Traditional audiometry often provides an incomplete characterization of the functional impact of hearing loss on speech understanding, particularly for supra-threshold deficits common in presbycusis. This motivates the development of more…
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, highlighting the need for accurate diagnostic methods. This study benchmarks centralized and federated machine learning algorithms for heart disease classification using…
Depression is the most common psychological disorder and is considered as a leading cause of disability and suicide worldwide. An automated system capable of detecting signs of depression in human speech can contribute to ensuring timely…
Suicide remains a public health challenge, necessitating improved detection methods to facilitate timely intervention and treatment. This systematic review evaluates the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in…
Training machine learning algorithms for speech applications requires large, labeled training data sets. This is problematic for clinical applications where obtaining such data is prohibitively expensive because of privacy concerns or lack…
Parkinson's Disease (PD) affects over 10 million people worldwide, with speech impairments in up to 89% of patients. Current speech-based detection systems analyze entire utterances, potentially overlooking the diagnostic value of specific…
While voice technologies increasingly serve aging populations, current systems exhibit significant performance gaps due to inadequate training data capturing elderly-specific vocal characteristics like presbyphonia and dialectal variations.…
In this study we developed an automated system that evaluates speech and language features from audio recordings of neuropsychological examinations of 92 subjects in the Framingham Heart Study. A total of 265 features were used in an…
