Length and Quality in Welsh Mid Vowels: New Evidence from Mid Wales [PDF]

Journal of Celtic Linguistics, 2018
Previous accounts of the vowel systems of Welsh (e.g. G. E.

A Leakage‐Aware Comparative Evaluation of Machine Learning Models for Voice‐Based Parkinson's Disease Screening, With External Validation on an Independent Cohort

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2026.
Voice‐based Parkinson's screening models routinely report > 95% accuracy because repeated recordings per participant leak speaker identity across random splits. Under leakage‐free, repeated grouped cross‐validation, performance falls to 0.86 AUC. External validation on an independent cohort shows partial discrimination but complete calibration failure,
