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.

Detection of Pathological Voice Using Cepstrum Vectors: A Deep Learning Approach.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
OBJECTIVES: Computerized detection of voice disorders has attracted considerable academic and clinical interest in the hope of providing an effective screening method for voice diseases before endoscopic confirmation. This study proposes a deep-learn...

Hierarchical Classification and System Combination for Automatically Identifying Physiological and Neuromuscular Laryngeal Pathologies.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
OBJECTIVES: Speech signal processing techniques have provided several contributions to pathologic voice identification, in which healthy and unhealthy voice samples are evaluated. A less common approach is to identify laryngeal pathologies, for which...

Evolving Spiking Neural Networks for Recognition of Aged Voices.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
The aging of the voice, known as presbyphonia, is a natural process that can cause great change in vocal quality of the individual. This is a relevant problem to those people who use their voices professionally, and its early identification can help ...

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...

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...
