Abstract

BACKGROUND: When investigating voice disorders a series of processes are used when including voice screening and diagnosis. Both methods have limited standardized tests, which are affected by the clinician's experience and subjective judgment. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been used as an objective tool in screening or diagnosing voice disorders. However, the effectiveness of ML algorithms in assessing and diagnosing voice disorders has not received sufficient scholarly attention.
