Aphasia, a language disorder resulting from brain damage, requires accurate identification of specific aphasia types, such as Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia, for effective treatment. However, little attention has been paid to developing…
Aphasia, a language disorder primarily caused by a stroke, is traditionally diagnosed using behavioral language tests. However, these tests are time-consuming, require manual interpretation by trained clinicians, suffer from low ecological…
Aphasias, selective language impairments which can arise from brain damage, reveal the functional organization of human language by providing causal links between affected brain regions and specific symptom profiles. Drawing on this…
Aphasia is a speech-language impairment commonly caused by damage to the left hemisphere. Due to the complexity of speech-language processing, the neural mechanisms that underpin various symptoms between different types of aphasia are still…
Aphasia is a common speech and language disorder, typically caused by a brain injury or a stroke, that affects millions of people worldwide. Detecting and assessing Aphasia in patients is a difficult, time-consuming process, and numerous…
Damage to the inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's area) can cause agrammatic aphasia wherein patients, although able to comprehend, lack the ability to form complete sentences. This inability leads to communication gaps which cause difficulties…
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects the speaking ability of millions of patients. This paper presents a new benchmark for Aphasia speech recognition and detection tasks using state-of-the-art speech recognition techniques with the…
Background: Speech and language pathologists (SLPs) often relyon judgements of speech fluency for diagnosing or monitoringpatients with aphasia. However, such subjective methods havebeen criticised for their lack of reliability and their…
We propose a lesion-aware graph neural network (LEGNet) to predict language ability from resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) connectivity in patients with post-stroke aphasia. Our model integrates three components: an edge-based learning module…
[Objective]. After a stroke, one-third of patients suffer from aphasia, a language disorder that impairs communication ability. The standard behavioral tests used to diagnose aphasia are time-consuming and have low ecological validity.…
Aphasia is a language disorder affecting one third of stroke patients. Current aphasia assessment does not consider natural speech due to the time consuming nature of manual transcriptions and a lack of knowledge on how to analyze such…
We present a computational evaluation of three hypotheses about sources of deficit in sentence comprehension in aphasia: slowed processing, intermittent deficiency, and resource reduction. The ACT-R based Lewis and Vasishth (2005) model is…
Paraphasias are speech errors that are often characteristic of aphasia and they represent an important signal in assessing disease severity and subtype. Traditionally, clinicians manually identify paraphasias by transcribing and analyzing…
Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a candidate "model organism" for human language, offering an unprecedented opportunity to study the computational basis of linguistic disorders like aphasia. However, traditional clinical…
Speech impairments resulting from congenital disorders, such as cerebral palsy, down syndrome, or apert syndrome, as well as acquired brain injuries due to stroke, traumatic accidents, or tumors, present major challenges to automatic speech…
Abusive behaviors are common on online social networks. The increasing frequency of antisocial behaviors forces the hosts of online platforms to find new solutions to address this problem. Automating the moderation process has thus received…
Automated speaking assessment in conversation tests (ASAC) aims to evaluate the overall speaking proficiency of an L2 (second-language) speaker in a setting where an interlocutor interacts with one or more candidates. Although prior ASAC…
Conventional automatic assessment of pathological speech usually follows two main steps: (1) extraction of pathology-specific features; (2) classification or regression on extracted features. Given the great variety of speech and language…
Automatic assessment of dysarthric speech is essential for sustained treatments and rehabilitation. However, obtaining atypical speech is challenging, often leading to data scarcity issues. To tackle the problem, we propose a novel…
Aphasia, a language impairment primarily resulting from stroke or brain injury, profoundly disrupts communication and everyday functioning. Despite advances in speech therapy, barriers such as limited therapist availability and the scarcity…
