Beyond Phecodes: leveraging PheMAP to identify patients lacking diagnosis codes in electronic health records.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Diagnosis codes documented in electronic health records (EHR) are often relied upon to clinically phenotype patients for biomedical research. However, these diagnoses can be incomplete and inaccurate, leading to false negatives when search...

Progress made in the efficacy and viability of deep-learning-based noise reduction.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Recent years have brought considerable advances to our ability to increase intelligibility through deep-learning-based noise reduction, especially for hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. In this study, intelligibility improvements resulting from a curre...

A causal and talker-independent speaker separation/dereverberation deep learning algorithm: Cost associated with conversion to real-time capable operation.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
The fundamental requirement for real-time operation of a speech-processing algorithm is causality-that it operate without utilizing future time frames. In the present study, the performance of a fully causal deep computational auditory scene analysis...

An effectively causal deep learning algorithm to increase intelligibility in untrained noises for hearing-impaired listeners.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Real-time operation is critical for noise reduction in hearing technology. The essential requirement of real-time operation is causality-that an algorithm does not use future time-frame information and, instead, completes its operation by the end of ...

A talker-independent deep learning algorithm to increase intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners in reverberant competing talker conditions.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Deep learning based speech separation or noise reduction needs to generalize to voices not encountered during training and to operate under multiple corruptions. The current study provides such a demonstration for hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. Sen...

A deep learning algorithm to increase intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners in the presence of a competing talker and reverberation.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
For deep learning based speech segregation to have translational significance as a noise-reduction tool, it must perform in a wide variety of acoustic environments. In the current study, performance was examined when target speech was subjected to in...

Perceptual Effects of Adjusting Hearing-Aid Gain by Means of a Machine-Learning Approach Based on Individual User Preference.

Trends in hearing
This study investigated a method to adjust hearing-aid gain by use of a machine-learning algorithm that estimates the optimal setting of gain parameters based on user preference indicated in an iterative paired-comparison procedure. Twenty hearing-im...

A deep learning based segregation algorithm to increase speech intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners in reverberant-noisy conditions.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Recently, deep learning based speech segregation has been shown to improve human speech intelligibility in noisy environments. However, one important factor not yet considered is room reverberation, which characterizes typical daily environments. The...

Improving the performance of hearing aids in noisy environments 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
The performance of a deep-learning-based speech enhancement (SE) technology for hearing aid users, called a deep denoising autoencoder (DDAE), was investigated. The hearing-aid speech perception index (HASPI) and the hearing- aid sound quality index ...

An algorithm to increase intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners in the presence of a competing talker.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Individuals with hearing impairment have particular difficulty perceptually segregating concurrent voices and understanding a talker in the presence of a competing voice. In contrast, individuals with normal hearing perform this task quite well. This...
