Deep-Learning-Based Representation of Vocal Fold Dynamics in Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia during Connected Speech in High-Speed Videoendoscopy.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
OBJECTIVE: Adductor spasmodic dysphonia (AdSD) is a neurogenic dystonia, which causes spasms of the laryngeal muscles. This disorder mainly affects production of connected speech. To understand how AdSD affects vocal fold (VF) movements and hence, th...

Pathological Voice Detection Based on Phase Reconstitution and Convolutional Neural Network.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
The nonlinear dynamic features can effectively describe the acoustic characteristics of normal and pathological voice. In this paper, the phase space reconstruction and convolution neural network are used to classify the normal and pathological voice...

Automatic GRBAS Scoring of Pathological Voices using Deep Learning and a Small Set of Labeled Voice Data.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
OBJECTIVES: Auditory-perceptual evaluation frameworks, such as the grade-roughness-breathiness-asthenia-strain (GRBAS) scale, are the gold standard for the quantitative evaluation of pathological voice quality. However, the evaluation is subjective; ...

Detection of Neurogenic Voice Disorders Using the Fisher Vector Representation of Cepstral Features.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
Neurogenic voice disorders (NVDs) are caused by damage or malfunction of the central or peripheral nervous system that controls vocal fold movement. In this paper, we investigate the potential of the Fisher vector (FV) encoding in automatic detection...

Recognition of the Effect of Vocal Exercises by Fuzzy Triangular Naive Bayes, a Machine Learning Classifier: A Preliminary Analysis.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
OBJECTIVES: Machine learning (ML) methods allow the development of expert systems for pattern recognition and predictive analysis of intervention outcomes. It has been used in Voice Sciences, mainly to discriminate between healthy and dysphonic voice...

[Current methods of acoustic analysis of voice: a review].

Lin chuang er bi yan hou tou jing wai ke za zhi = Journal of clinical otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery
Acoustic analysis of the voice, as an objective, quantitative, non-invasive and reproducible method for the evaluation of voice quality, can be used to detect and analyze the acoustic characteristics of normal, artistic or pathological voice. With th...

Different Performances of Machine Learning Models to Classify Dysphonic and Non-Dysphonic Voices.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the performance of 10 different machine learning (ML) classifiers for discrimination between dysphonic and non-dysphonic voices, using a variance threshold as a method for the selection and reduction of acoustic measurements use...

Use of a humanoid robot for auditory psychophysical testing.

PloS one
Tasks in psychophysical tests can at times be repetitive and cause individuals to lose engagement during the test. To facilitate engagement, we propose the use of a humanoid NAO robot, named Sam, as an alternative interface for conducting psychophysi...

Consistency of the Signature of Phonotraumatic Vocal Hyperfunction Across Different Ambulatory Voice Measures.

Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR
PURPOSE: Although different factors and voice measures have been associated with phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (PVH), it is unclear what percentage of individuals with PVH exhibit such differences during their daily lives. This study used a mach...

Evaluating the consistency of lenition measures: Neural networks' posterior probability, intensity velocity, and duration.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Predictions of gradient degree of lenition of voiceless and voiced stops in a corpus of Argentine Spanish are evaluated using three acoustic measures (minimum and maximum intensity velocity and duration) and two recurrent neural network (Phonet) meas...
