Novel Methods For Detection And Analysis Of Atypical Aspects In Speech

Atypical aspects in speech concern speech that deviates from what is commonly considered normal or healthy. In this thesis, we propose novel methods for detection and analysis of these aspects, e.g. to monitor the temporary state of a speaker, diseases tha ...

Late Fusion of the Available Lexicon and Raw Waveform-based Acoustic Modeling for Depression and Dementia Recognition

Mathew Magimai Doss, Petr Motlicek, Subrahmanya Pavankumar Dubagunta, Julian David Fritsch

Mental disorders, e.g. depression and dementia, are categorized as priority conditions according to the World Health Organization (WHO). When diagnosing, psychologists employ structured questionnaires/interviews, and different cognitive tests. Although acc ...

On Modeling Glottal Source Information for Phonation Assessment in Parkinson's Disease

Mathew Magimai Doss, Julian David Fritsch

Parkinson's disease produces several motor symptoms, including different speech impairments that are known as hypokinetic dysarthria. Symptoms associated to dysarthria affect different dimensions of speech such as phonation, articulation, prosody, and inte ...

Utterance Verification-Based Dysarthric Speech Intelligibility Assessment Using Phonetic Posterior Features

Mathew Magimai Doss, Julian David Fritsch

In the literature, the task of dysarthric speech intelligibility assessment has been approached through development of different low-level feature representations, subspace modeling, phone confidence estimation or measurement of automatic speech recognitio ...

Estimating The Degree of Sleepiness by Integrating Articulatory Feature Knowledge In Raw Waveform Based CNNs

Subrahmanya Pavankumar Dubagunta, Julian David Fritsch

Speech-based degree of sleepiness estimation is an emerging research problem. This paper investigates an end-to-end approach, where given raw waveform as input, a convolutional neural network (CNN) estimates at its output the degree of sleepiness. Within t ...
