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...

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...

The Effect of the MFCC Frame Length in Automatic Voice Pathology Detection.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
Automatic voice pathology detection is a research topic, which has gained increasing interest recently. Although methods based on deep learning are becoming popular, the classical pipeline systems based on a two-stage architecture consisting of a fea...

Machine Learning-based Voice Assessment for the Detection of Positive and Recovered COVID-19 Patients.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
Many virological tests have been implemented during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic for diagnostic purposes, but they appear unsuitable for screening purposes. Furthermore, current screening strategies are not accurate enough to effe...

Deep Learning for Voice Gender Identification: Proof-of-concept for Gender-Affirming Voice Care.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The need for gender-affirming voice care has been increasing in the transgender population in the last decade. Currently, objective treatment outcome measurements are lacking to assess the success of these interventions. This s...

Machine learning based identification of relevant parameters for functional voice disorders derived from endoscopic high-speed recordings.

Scientific reports
In voice research and clinical assessment, many objective parameters are in use. However, there is no commonly used set of parameters that reflect certain voice disorders, such as functional dysphonia (FD); i.e. disorders with no visible anatomical c...

Discrimination of "hot potato voice" caused by upper airway obstruction utilizing a support vector machine.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: "Hot potato voice" (HPV) is a thick, muffled voice caused by pharyngeal or laryngeal diseases characterized by severe upper airway obstruction, including acute epiglottitis and peritonsillitis. To develop a method for determini...

A Survey on Machine Learning Approaches for Automatic Detection of Voice Disorders.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
The human voice production system is an intricate biological device capable of modulating pitch and loudness. Inherent internal and/or external factors often damage the vocal folds and result in some change of voice. The consequences are reflected in...

Demographic and Symptomatic Features of Voice Disorders and Their Potential Application in Classification Using Machine Learning Algorithms.

Folia phoniatrica et logopaedica : official organ of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics (IALP)
BACKGROUND: Studies have used questionnaires of dysphonic symptoms to screen voice disorders. This study investigated whether the differential presentation of demographic and symptomatic features can be applied to computerized classification.
