Representation Learning Based Speech Assistive System for Persons With Dysarthria.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
An assistive system for persons with vocal impairment due to dysarthria converts dysarthric speech to normal speech or text. Because of the articulatory deficits, dysarthric speech recognition needs a robust learning technique. Representation learnin...

Dysarthria Detection with Deep Representation Learning for Patients with Parkinson's Disease.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Dysarthria is a very common motor speech symptom in Parkinson's disease impairing normal communications of patients. Detection of dysarthria could assist clinical diagnosis and intervention of Parkinson's disease, provide monitoring approach for trea...

Dysarthria detection based on a deep learning model with a clinically-interpretable layer.

JASA express letters
Studies have shown deep neural networks (DNN) as a potential tool for classifying dysarthric speakers and controls. However, representations used to train DNNs are largely not clinically interpretable, which limits clinical value. Here, a model with ...

Neuroprosthesis for Decoding Speech in a Paralyzed Person with Anarthria.

The New England journal of medicine
BACKGROUND: Technology to restore the ability to communicate in paralyzed persons who cannot speak has the potential to improve autonomy and quality of life. An approach that decodes words and sentences directly from the cerebral cortical activity of...

A joint-feature learning-based voice conversion system for dysarthric user based on deep learning technology.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Dysarthria speakers suffer from poor communication, and voice conversion (VC) technology is a potential approach for improving their speech quality. This study presents a joint feature learning approach to improve a sub-band deep neural network-based...

Multiple ANN Recognizers for Adaptive Recognition of the Speech of Dysarthric Patients in AAL Systems.

Studies in health technology and informatics
People suffering from neuromuscular disorders are one of the main target groups of speech-controlled Ambient Assisted Living systems. However, the speech of these patients is often distorted because of the dysarthric symptoms of the disease. The dysa...
