Suboptimal Classifier for Dysarthria Assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work is focused on the design and evaluation of a suboptimal classifier for dysarthria assessment. The classification relied on self organizing maps to discriminate 8 types of dysarthria and a normal group. The classification technique provided an excellent accuracy for assessment and enabled clinicians with a powerful relevance analysis of the input features. This technique also allows a bi-dimensional map that shows the spatial distribution of the data revealing important information about the different dysarthric groups.

Automated Dysarthria Severity Classification for Improved Objective Intelligibility Assessment of Spastic Dysarthric Speech
In this paper, automatic dysarthria severity classification is explored as a tool to advance objective intelligibility prediction of spastic dysarthric speech. A Mahalanobis distance-based discriminant analysis classifier is developed based on a set of acoustic features formerly proposed for intelligibility prediction and voice pathology assessment. Feature selection is used to sift salient fea...
متن کاملCombining neural network and rule-based systems for dysarthria diagnosis
This study reports on the development of a diagnostic expert system – incorporating a multilayer perceptron (MLP) – designed to identify any sub-type of dysarthria (loss of neuromuscular control over the articulators) manifested by a patient undergoing a Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment (FDA) evaluation. If sufficient information is provided describing pathological features of the patient’s speec...
متن کاملThe redesign and re-evaluation of an internet-based telerehabilitation system for the assessment of dysarthria in adults.
A previous study revealed that reliable assessment of dysarthria was feasible. However, that study also revealed a number of system limitations and suggested that technological enhancements and improvements in study design and clinical assessment protocols were needed before validity and reliability of assessment of dysarthria via telerehabilitation could be confirmed. In the current study, imp...
متن کاملSurvey of UK speech and language therapists' assessment and treatment practices for people with progressive dysarthria.
BACKGROUND Dysarthria knowledge is predominantly impairment-based. As a result, speech and language therapists (SLTs) have traditionally adopted impairment-focused management practices. However, guidance for best practice suggests that SLTs should consider the client holistically, including the impact of dysarthria beyond the impairment. AIMS To investigate the current assessment and treatmen...
متن کاملExperimental Assessment of a Threshold Selection Algorithm for Tuning Classifiers in the Field of Hierarchical Text Categorization
Text Categorization is the task of assigning predefined categories to text documents. It can provide conceptual views of document collections and has many important applications in the real world. Nowadays, most of the research on text categorization has focused on mapping text documents to a set of categories among which structural relationships hold. Without loss of generality, let us assume ...
