A novel Swin transformer based framework for speech recognition for dysarthria.

Scientific reports
Dysarthria frequently occurs in individuals with disorders such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, and other neurological disorders. Well-timed detection and management of dysarthria in these patients is imperative for efficiently handli...

Exploring the Impact of Fine-Tuning the Wav2vec2 Model in Database-Independent Detection of Dysarthric Speech.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Many acoustic features and machine learning models have been studied to build automatic detection systems to distinguish dysarthric speech from healthy speech. These systems can help to improve the reliability of diagnosis. However, speech recorded f...

Natural language processing techniques for studying language in pathological ageing: A scoping review.

International journal of language & communication disorders
BACKGROUND: In the past few years there has been a growing interest in the employment of verbal productions as digital biomarkers, namely objective, quantifiable behavioural data that can be collected and measured by means of digital devices, allowin...

Deep learning applications in telerehabilitation speech therapy scenarios.

Computers in biology and medicine
Nowadays, many application scenarios benefit from automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology. Within the field of speech therapy, in some cases ASR is exploited in the treatment of dysarthria with the aim of supporting articulation output. However...

Automated Dysarthria Severity Classification: A Study on Acoustic Features and Deep Learning Techniques.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Assessing the severity level of dysarthria can provide an insight into the patient's improvement, assist pathologists to plan therapy, and aid automatic dysarthric speech recognition systems. In this article, we present a comparative study on the cla...

Speech Vision: An End-to-End Deep Learning-Based Dysarthric Automatic Speech Recognition System.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Dysarthria is a disorder that affects an individual's speech intelligibility due to the paralysis of muscles and organs involved in the articulation process. As the condition is often associated with physically debilitating disabilities, not only do ...

Residual Neural Network precisely quantifies dysarthria severity-level based on short-duration speech segments.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Recently, we have witnessed Deep Learning methodologies gaining significant attention for severity-based classification of dysarthric speech. Detecting dysarthria, quantifying its severity, are of paramount importance in various real-life application...

Brain morphological changes in hypokinetic dysarthria of Parkinson's disease and use of machine learning to predict severity.

CNS neuroscience & therapeutics
BACKGROUND: Up to 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) eventually develop the speech and voice disorder referred to as hypokinetic dysarthria (HD). However, the brain morphological changes associated with HD have not been investigated. Moreo...

Automated Assessment of Oral Diadochokinesis in Multiple Sclerosis Using a Neural Network Approach: Effect of Different Syllable Repetition Paradigms.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Slow and irregular oral diadochokinesis represents an important manifestation of spastic and ataxic dysarthria in multiple sclerosis (MS). We aimed to develop a robust algorithm based on convolutional neural networks for the accurate detection of syl...

Regularized Speaker Adaptation of KL-HMM for Dysarthric Speech Recognition.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper addresses the problem of recognizing the speech uttered by patients with dysarthria, which is a motor speech disorder impeding the physical production of speech. Patients with dysarthria have articulatory limitation, and therefore, they of...
