Improved Approach to Automatic Detection of Speech Disorders Based on the Hidden Markov Models Approach

چکیده
In the work algorithms commonly utilized in continuous speech recognition systems were applied to detection of speech disorders. The used algorithms were briefly described and the final method of speech disorders detection was presented. The article includes the results of the short test performed in order to check the effectiveness and accuracy of the method. The aim of the test was detection and classification of fricative phonemes prolongation one of the most common speech disorders in the Polish language. It is worth emphasizing that this method enables detection of a category of speech disturbance (e.g. fricative, nasal, vowels, etc... prolongation), but also provides the information about a specific phoneme being disturbed.

Speech enhancement based on hidden Markov model using sparse code shrinkage
This paper presents a new hidden Markov model-based (HMM-based) speech enhancement framework based on the independent component analysis (ICA). We propose analytical procedures for training clean speech and noise models by the Baum re-estimation algorithm and present a Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator based on Laplace-Gaussian (for clean speech and noise respectively) combination in the HMM ...

The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a stochastic approach to recognition of patterns appearing in an input signal. In the work author’s implementation of the HMM were used to recognize speech disorders prolonged fricative phonemes. To achieve the best recognition effectiveness and simultaneously preserve reasonable time required for calculations two problems need to be addressed: the choice of the...

The air transport industry is seeking to manage risks in air travels. Its main objective is to detect abnormal behaviors in various flight conditions. The current methods have some limitations and are based on studying the risks and measuring the effective parameters. These parameters do not remove the dependency of a flight process on the time and human decisions. In this paper, we used an HMM...

Thanks to Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), a lot of machines can nowadays emulate human being ability to understand and speak natural language. However, ASR problematic could be as interesting as it is difficult. Its difficulty is precisely due to the complexity of speech processing, which takes into consideration many aspects: acoustic, phonetic, syntactic, etc. Thus, the most commonly used...

The most frequently used methods of automatic detection and classification of speech disorders are based on experimental determination of specific distinctive features for a given kind of disorder, and working out a suitable algorithm that finds such a disorder in the acoustic signal. For example, for detection of prolonged phonemes, analysis of the duration of articulation is used, and on the ...
