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...

A WaveNet-based model for predicting the electroglottographic signal from the acoustic voice signal.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
The electroglottographic (EGG) signal offers a non-invasive approach to analyze phonation. It is known, if not obvious, that the onset of vocal fold contacting has a substantial effect on how the vocal folds vibrate and on the quality of the voice. G...

The machine learning-based prediction of the sound pressure level from pathological and healthy speech signals.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Vocal intensity is quantified by sound pressure level (SPL). The SPL can be measured by either using a sound level meter or by comparing the energy of the recorded speech signal with the energy of the recorded calibration tone of a known SPL. Neither...
