Acoustic Analysis of Pathologies

This series demonstrates how the latest advances in speech technology and text mining positively affect patient health care and public health writ large.Topics include: text mining of electronic health records; speech-enabled service robots in operating rooms and assistive robots in care facilities; signal and acoustic modeling of speech disorders resulting from Parkinson’s disease, Autism Spectrum Disorder, cleft palate, intellectual disabilities, and neuro-motor impairments; clinical assessment of speechtechnology and natural language processing software for handling autism and aphasia; empirical studies of speech technologies for voice reconstruction and enhancement; computational bioacoustics for biodiversity assessment, pest population control, and monitoring the spread of disease transmitting insects.
