This paper aims to develop a new deep learning-inspired gaming approach for early detection of dementia. This research integrates a robust convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model for early dementia detection using health metrics data…

Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) affect one in five adults over 60, yet more than half of individuals with cognitive decline remain undiagnosed. Speech-based assessments show promise for early detection, as phonetic motor…

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a significant and growing public health concern. Investigating alterations in speech and language patterns offers a promising path towards cost-effective and non-invasive early detection of AD on a large scale.…

Paralinguistic properties of speech are essential in analyzing and choosing optimal treatment options for patients with speech disorders. However, automatic modeling of these characteristics is difficult due to the lack of labeled speech…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how children interact, communicate and socialize with others. This disorder can occur in a broad spectrum of symptoms, with varying effects and…

Recently deep neural networks (DNNs) have been used to learn speaker features. However, the quality of the learned features is not sufficiently good, so a complex back-end model, either neural or probabilistic, has to be used to address the…

Over the past few years, speech enhancement methods based on deep learning have greatly surpassed traditional methods based on spectral subtraction and spectral estimation. Many of these new techniques operate directly in the the short-time…

This paper proposes a Sub-band Convolutional Neural Network for spoken term classification. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have proven to be very effective in acoustic applications such as spoken term classification, keyword spotting,…

Access to informative databases is a crucial part of notable research developments. In the field of domestic audio classification, there have been significant advances in recent years. Although several audio databases exist, these can be…

The ADReSS Challenge at INTERSPEECH 2020 defines a shared task through which different approaches to the automated recognition of Alzheimer's dementia based on spontaneous speech can be compared. ADReSS provides researchers with a benchmark…

We propose a Perceiver-based sequence classifier to detect abnormalities in speech reflective of several neurological disorders. We combine this classifier with a Universal Speech Model (USM) that is trained (unsupervised) on 12 million…

Early detection of dementia is crucial to devise effective interventions. Comprehensive cognitive tests, while being the most accurate means of diagnosis, are long and tedious, thus limiting their applicability to a large population,…

Deep gated convolutional networks have been proved to be very effective in single channel speech separation. However current state-of-the-art framework often considers training the gated convolutional networks in time-frequency (TF) domain.…

The use of spontaneous language to derive appropriate digital markers has become an emergent, promising and non-intrusive method to diagnose and monitor dementia. Here we propose methods to capture language coherence as a cost-effective,…

Agitation is one of the most prevalent symptoms in people with dementia (PwD) that can place themselves and the caregiver's safety at risk. Developing objective agitation detection approaches is important to support health and safety of PwD…

Speech signals, typically sampled at rates in the tens of thousands per second, contain redundancies, evoking inefficiencies in sequence modeling. High-dimensional speech features such as spectrograms are often used as the input for the…

This paper proposes a novel approach that uses deep neural networks for classifying imagined speech, significantly increasing the classification accuracy. The proposed approach employs only the EEG channels over specific areas of the brain…

Individual's general well-being is greatly impacted by mental health conditions including depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), underscoring the importance of early detection and precise diagnosis in order to facilitate…

Recent advancements in machine learning have significantly improved speech recognition, but recognizing speech from non-fluent or accented speakers remains a challenge. Previous efforts, relying on rule-based pronunciation patterns, have…

Speech production is a complex phenomenon, wherein the brain orchestrates a sequence of processes involving thought processing, motor planning, and the execution of articulatory movements. However, this intricate execution of various…
