Deep learning models are increasingly used for radiographic analysis, but their reliability is challenged by the stochastic noise inherent in clinical imaging. A systematic, cross-task understanding of how different noise types impact these…

Compared with automatic speech recognition (ASR), the human auditory system is more adept at handling noise-adverse situations, including environmental noise and channel distortion. To mimic this adeptness, auditory models have been widely…

Direction finding and positioning systems based on RF signals are significantly impacted by multipath propagation, particularly in indoor environments. Existing algorithms (e.g MUSIC) perform poorly in resolving Angle of Arrival (AoA) in…

As the burden of respiratory diseases continues to fall on society worldwide, this paper proposes a high-quality and reliable dataset of human sounds for studying respiratory illnesses, including pneumonia and COVID-19. It consists of…

State-of-the-art deep-learning-based voice activity detectors (VADs) are often trained with anechoic data. However, real acoustic environments are generally reverberant, which causes the performance to significantly deteriorate. To mitigate…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems remain brittle on dysarthric and other atypical speech. Recent audio-language models raise the possibility of improving performance by conditioning on additional clinical context at inference time,…

Dysarthria is a neurological speech disorder that can significantly impact affected individuals' communication abilities and overall quality of life. The accurate and objective classification of dysarthria and the determination of its…

This work presents a novel framework based on feed-forward neural network for text-independent speaker classification and verification, two related systems of speaker recognition. With optimized features and model training, it achieves 100%…

Background: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are progressive neurodegenerative conditions where early detection is vital for timely intervention and care. Spontaneous speech contains rich acoustic and linguistic markers that…

Carotid artery stenosis is the narrowing of carotid arteries, which supplies blood to the neck and head. In this work, we train a model to predict the severity of the stenosis blockage based on SRUC criteria variables and other patient…

Existing deep learning (DL) based speech enhancement approaches are generally optimised to minimise the distance between clean and enhanced speech features. These often result in improved speech quality however they suffer from a lack of…

Deep Reinforcement Learning systems are highly sensitive to the learning rate (LR), and selecting stable and performant training runs often requires extensive hyperparameter search. In Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) actor--critic…

The speech transmission index (STI) and room acoustic parameters (RAPs), which are derived from a room impulse response (RIR), such as reverberation time and early decay time, are essential to assess speech transmission and to predict the…

This research introduces a novel AI techniques as Mixture-of-Experts Transformers with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) for voice health care applications on voice pathology detection. With the architectural innovations, we adopt…

The classification of clinical notes into specific diagnostic categories is critical in healthcare, especially for mental health conditions like Anxiety and Adjustment Disorder. In this study, we compare the performance of various…

Deep learning has celebrated resounding successes in many application areas of relevance to the Internet of Things (IoT), such as computer vision and machine listening. These technologies must ultimately be brought directly to the edge to…

Accurately interpreting cardiac auscultation signals plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular diseases. However, the paucity of labelled data inhibits classification models' training. Researchers have turned to…

Accurate, real-time monitoring of tissue ischemia is crucial to understand tissue health and guide surgery. Spectral imaging shows great potential for contactless and intraoperative monitoring of tissue oxygenation. Due to the difficulty of…

During the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, several research areas joined efforts to mitigate the damages caused by SARS-CoV-2. In this paper we present an interpretability analysis of a convolutional neural network based model for COVID-19…

Longitudinal brain MRI is essential for characterizing the progression of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease assessment. However, current deep-learning tools fragment this process: classifiers reduce a scan to a label,…
