Download or read book Pathological Voice Analysis written by David Zhang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-03 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While voice is widely used in speech recognition and speaker identification, its application in biomedical fields is much less common. This book systematically introduces the authors’ research on voice analysis for biomedical applications, particularly pathological voice analysis. Firstly, it reviews the field to highlight the biomedical value of voice. It then offers a comprehensive overview of the workflow and aspects of pathological voice analysis, including voice acquisition systems, voice pitch estimation methods, glottal closure instant detection, feature extraction and learning, and the multi-audio fusion approaches. Lastly, it discusses the experimental results that have shown the superiority of these techniques. This book is useful to researchers, professionals and postgraduate students working in fields such as speech signal processing, pattern recognition, and biomedical engineering. It is also a valuable resource for those involved in interdisciplinary research.
Download or read book Analysis of Pathological Speech Signals written by Tomás Arias-Vergara and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the automatic analysis of speech disorders resulting from a clinical condition (Parkinson's disease and hearing loss) or the natural aging process. For Parkinson's disease, the progression of speech symptoms is evaluated by considering speech recordings captured in the short-term (4 months) and long-term (5 years). Machine learning methods are used to perform three tasks: (1) automatic classification of patients vs. healthy speakers. (2) regression analysis to predict the dysarthria level and neurological state. (3) speaker embeddings to analyze the progression of the speech symptoms over time. For hearing loss, automatic acoustic analysis is performed to evaluate whether the duration and onset of deafness (before or after speech acquisition) influence the speech production of cochlear implant users. Additionally, articulation, prosody, and phonemic analyses show that cochlear implant users present altered speech production even after hearing rehabilitation.

This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he International Workshop on Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications (MAVEBA) came into being in 1999 from the particularly felt need of sharing know-how, objectives and results between areas that until then seemed quite distinct such as bioengineering, medicine and singing. MAVEBA deals with all aspects concerning the study of the human voice with applications ranging from the newborn to the adult and elderly. Over the years the initial issues have grown and spread also in other fields of research such as occupational voice disorders, neurology, rehabilitation, image and video analysis. MAVEBA takes place every two years in Firenze, Italy. This edition celebrates twenty-four years of uninterrupted and successful research in the field of voice analysis.

Download or read book Computational Analysis of Voice Disorders written by Roozbeh Behroozmand and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of mathematical methods for analyzing pathological speech signals is one of the best approaches to non-invasive diagnosis of laryngeal dysfunctions in patients with vocal fold disorders. The processing of disordered voice signals is a useful technique that provides a low-cost and time-efficient clinical tool for automatic detection of neurological and physical damages to the vocal folds. The application of these methods can help speech pathologists routinely monitor the functionality of patients' speech production system and provide them with appropriate therapies, medication or treatments. Moreover, these method can help detect the early symptoms and prevent the progress of some severe types of these diseases (e.g. laryngeal cancer) by tracking changes in the acoustical parameters of a patients' voice. In this book, a variety of signal processing methods are proposed, implemented and discussed with relevance to the diagnosis of different types of laryngeal diseases. The discussed methods include classical and novel signal processing approaches to the diagnosis of laryngeal diseases with specific focus on vocal fold disorders in patients with pathological speech.
