A Semantics-Based Communication System for Dysphasic Subjects
نویسنده
چکیده
Dysphasic subjects do not have complete linguistic abilities and only produce a weakly structured, topicalized language. They are offered artificial symbolic languages to help them communicate in a way more adapted to their linguistic abilities. After a structural analysis of a corpus of utterances from children with cerebral palsy, we define a semantic lexicon for such a symbolic language. We use it as the basis of a semantic analysis process able to retrieve an interpretation of the utterances. This semantic analyser is currently used in an application designed to convert iconic languages into natural language; it might find other uses in the field of language rehabilitation.

The efficacy of gestural cueing in dysphasic word-retrieval responses.
The effectiveness of visual--gestural cueing as compared with traditional auditory--verbal cueing was investigated using a time-series design. Eight dysphasic adults equally divided into a control and an experimental group were the subjects for this study. Results indicated no significant improvement in response times after an intensive 2-wk treatment period. Similarly, no single cue was observ...
متن کاملQuantitative Classification of Conversational Language Using Artificial Neural Networks
In this paper I shall describe the use of artificial neural networks for the classification of subjects based on their conversational speech using a set of linguistic measures with particular reference to the application of this approach in classifying dysphasic patients. These linguistic measures can be applied to the transcribed texts of conversational speech of both normal and dysphasic subj...
متن کاملNeural Networks in Spontaneous Speech Assessment of Dysphasic Patients
Neural networks can be successfully used for the classification of dysphasic subjects based on their conversational speech using a set of linguistic measures. I shall illustrate the approach with particular reference to its application in classifying agrammatic patients. Linguistic measures can be applied to the transcribed texts of conversational speech of both normal and agrammatic subjects a...
متن کاملA short introduction to two approaches in formal verification of security protocols: model checking and theorem proving
In this paper, we shortly review two formal approaches in verification of security protocols; model checking and theorem proving. Model checking is based on studying the behavior of protocols via generating all different behaviors of a protocol and checking whether the desired goals are satisfied in all instances or not. We investigate Scyther operational semantics as n example of this...
متن کاملPitch and timing abilities in adult left-hemisphere-dysphasic and right-hemisphere-damaged subjects.
The production and perception of pitch and rhythm were tested in patients with acquired unilateral left-hemisphere (LH) lesions (and subsequent motor dysphasia, n = 13), patients with unilateral right-hemisphere (RH) lesions (n = 14), and normal age-matched controls. While the LH dysphasic subjects were not generally impaired on the production or perception of pitch, they were grossly impaired ...
