Prosodic-Enhanced Siamese Convolutional Neural Networks for Cross-Device Text-Independent Speaker Verification

, 2018
In this paper a novel cross-device text-independent speaker verification architecture is proposed. Majority of the state-of-the-art deep architectures that are used for speaker verification tasks consider Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients. In contrast,

Recognition of elementary arm movements using orientation of a tri-axial accelerometer located near the wrist [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper we present a method for recognising three fundamental movements of the human arm (reach and retrieve, lift cup to mouth, rotation of the arm) by determining the orientation of a tri-axial accelerometer located near the wrist.

Voice and Speech in Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Background Motor speech disorders are early, common, and functionally limiting features of atypical parkinsonian disorders (APDs) such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). These impairments are underrecognized and undertreated in neurology clinics.

Compare acoustic analysis in children with VPI and normal

مجله پژوهش در علوم توانبخشی, 2012
Introduction: It has been hypothesized that speakers with velopharyngeal disorders exert stronger forces on their laryngeal structures in order to minimize hypernasality and to reach appropriate voice intensity.

Jitter and Shimmer measurements for speaker diarization [PDF]

, 2014
Jitter and shimmer voice quality features have been successfully used to characterize speaker voice traits and detect voice pathologies. Jitter and shimmer measure variations in the fundamental frequency and amplitude of speaker's voice, respectively.

Speaker-independent emotion recognition exploiting a psychologically-inspired binary cascade classification schema

, 2012
In this paper, a psychologically-inspired binary cascade classification schema is proposed for speech emotion recognition. Performance is enhanced because commonly confused pairs of emotions are distinguishable from one another.

Automatic depression scale prediction using facial expression dynamics and regression [PDF]

, 2014
Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behaviour, feelings and sense of well-being. In such a low mood, both the facial expression and voice appear different from the ones in normal states. In this

Revealing Intrinsic Functionalization, Structure, and Photo‐Thermal Oxidation in Hexagonal Antimonene

Small, EarlyView.
Cross‐sectional electron microscopy reveals that antimonene hexagons exhibited inner defects and protective organic functionalization against oxidation. Temperature and power‐dependent Raman spectroscopy on varying thicknesses of FLA hexagons show that thinner flakes (<20 nm) exhibited a blueshift and intensity decrease, contrasting with the redshift ...
