Improving real-time emotion recognition system in assistive communication technologies for disabled persons using deep learning with equilibrium algorithm.

Scientific reports
A disability is one of the significant problems which has been introduced and leads to current problems. Disability is and continues to be a basis of frustration as it is observed as a limitation, a physical, cognitive, and mental handicap, which lim...

Speaking from the heart: a story about innovation, resilience, and infinite possibilities with AAC.

Augmentative and alternative communication (Baltimore, Md. : 1985)
Communication is the cornerstone of human connection, impacting everything from our personal relationships to our professional success. This concept became heartbreakingly real for me when I was diagnosed with motor neuron disease at the age of 25. T...

IoT-driven smart assistive communication system for the hearing impaired with hybrid deep learning models for sign language recognition.

Scientific reports
Deaf and hard-of-hearing people utilize sign language recognition (SLR) to interconnect. Sign language (SL) is vital for hard-of-hearing and deaf individuals to communicate. SL uses varied hand gestures to speak words, sentences, or letters. It aids ...

Dialogue agents for artificial intelligence-based conversational systems for cognitively disabled: a systematic review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: We present a systematic literature review of dialogue agents for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and agent-based conversational systems dealing with cognitive disability of aged and impaired people including dementia and Parkinson's disease. We...

AI enabled sign language recognition and VR space bidirectional communication using triboelectric smart glove.

Nature communications
Sign language recognition, especially the sentence recognition, is of great significance for lowering the communication barrier between the hearing/speech impaired and the non-signers. The general glove solutions, which are employed to detect motions...

Speech Technology for Healthcare: Opportunities, Challenges, and State of the Art.

IEEE reviews in biomedical engineering
Speech technology is not appropriately explored even though modern advances in speech technology-especially those driven by deep learning (DL) technology-offer unprecedented opportunities for transforming the healthcare industry. In this paper, we ha...

On the localness modeling for the self-attention based end-to-end speech synthesis.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Attention based end-to-end speech synthesis achieves better performance in both prosody and quality compared to the conventional "front-end"-"back-end" structure. But training such end-to-end framework is usually time-consuming because of the use of ...

Speech Technology Progress Based on New Machine Learning Paradigm.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Speech technologies have been developed for decades as a typical signal processing area, while the last decade has brought a huge progress based on new machine learning paradigms. Owing not only to their intrinsic complexity but also to their relatio...

Visual P300 Mind-Speller Brain-Computer Interfaces: A Walk Through the Recent Developments With Special Focus on Classification Algorithms.

Clinical EEG and neuroscience
Brain-computer interfaces are sophisticated signal processing systems, which directly operate on neuronal signals to identify specific human intents. These systems can be applied to overcome certain disabilities or to enhance the natural capabilities...
