are speech attractor models useful in diagnosing vocal fold pathologies?

چکیده
the speech is an easily accessible signal which clearly represents the characteristics of larynx and vocal folds. therefore, application of some proper machine learning algorithms on a small part of a recorded speech signal may help in non-invasive diagnosing of vocal fold diseases. since there are some experimental evidences that suggest the existence of chaotic behavior in speech production system, in this paper a new method is proposed to predict vocal fold pathologies using its chaotic characteristics. the proposed method is based on modeling of pathological voice as a speech trajectory in the reconstructed phase space.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Quantitative analysis of endoscopic high-speed video recordings of vocal fold vibrations has been growing in importance in recent years. The videos have mainly been analyzed using subjective evaluation, but this is examiner dependent, and the results show inadequate interobserver agreement. The aims of this study were therefore to identify appropriate objective parameters ...

A number of commercial devices for measuring the transverse electrical conductance of the thyroid cartilage produce waveforms that can be useful for monitoring movements within the larynx during voice production, especially movements that are closely related to the time-variation of the contact between the vocal folds as they vibrate. This paper compares the various approaches that can be used ...

متن کاملNoise reduction for vocal pathologies
A noise reduction scheme, particularly suited for the correction of vocal pathologies, is proposed. The filter makes use of concepts originated within the theory of dynamical systems and deterministic chaos. In particular, the idea of embedding scalar data in order to reconstruct a phase space is of fundamental importance here. Furthermore, the concept of an attractor as a result of dynamical c...
