Convolutional neural network-based automatic classification of midsagittal tongue gestural targets using B-mode ultrasound images.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Tongue gestural target classification is of great interest to researchers in the speech production field. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) have shown superiority to standard feature extraction techniques in a variety of domains. In ...

Restoring speech following total removal of the larynx by a learned transformation from sensor data to acoustics.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Total removal of the larynx may be required to treat laryngeal cancer: speech is lost. This article shows that it may be possible to restore speech by sensing movement of the remaining speech articulators and use machine learning algorithms to derive...

Tongue-controlled robotic rehabilitation: A feasibility study in people with stroke.

Journal of rehabilitation research and development
Stroke survivors with severe upper limb (UL) impairment face years of therapy to recover function. Robot-assisted therapy (RT) is increasingly used in the field for goal-oriented rehabilitation as a means to improve function in ULs. To be used effect...

Transoral robotic tongue base reduction in surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

B-ENT
Management of base of tongue (BOT) is a challenging topic in surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. After the introduction of transoral robotic surgery technology (TORS) into the otolaryngology practice, surgery on the BOT was perfo...

Transoral robotic surgery for base of tongue neoplasms.

B-ENT
Surgery to the base of tongue (BOT) in the presence of neoplasm is a challenging topic for head and neck surgeons. This area is difficult to access and includes important neurovascular structures such as the hypoglossal nerve and lingual artery. The ...
