Towards a speech therapy support system based on phonological processes early detection

Euphoni: A System to Support Speech Therapy

Many rehabilitation therapies ask patients to perform many exercises every day. This requirement strongly stresses the patient who often abandons the therapy too early. This is particulary true in speech therapy which usually has an estimated drop out before reaching the treatment goal of 65%, which is a very high number. In this paper we propose Euphoni, a system for distance care of voice pro...

Towards a UML based Engineering Support System

The function block concept has been proposed by recent IEC standards for the development of distributed Industrial Process Measurement and Control Systems (IPMCSs). However the function block approach is purely functional and does not exploit the benefits of the Object Technology. Object Orientation is now a mature technology with many remarkable commercial tools supporting the whole software l...

Notes on phonological based drunken detection algorithm

In this paper we propose a new algorithm for detecting if a person is under the influence of alcohol. This algorithm is based on number of pauses the speaker makes by judging that if the number of pauses compared to the previous recordings of the same person, which has been recorded beforehand, is higher. If so the algorithm mark the speaker as drunk. 1 Past works There are numerous researches ...

Acoustic detection of apple mealiness based on support vector machine

Mealiness degrades the quality of apples and plays an important role in fruit market. Therefore, the use of reliable and rapid sensing techniques for nondestructive measurement and sorting of fruits is necessary. In this study, the potential of acoustic signals of rolling apples on an inclined plate as a new technique for nondestructive detection of Red Delicious apple mealiness was investigate...
