Aphasic Speech Recognition using a Mixture of Speech Intelligibility Experts

open access: yes, 2020
Robust speech recognition is a key prerequisite for semantic feature extraction in automatic aphasic speech analysis. However, standard one-size-fits-all automatic speech recognition models perform poorly when applied to aphasic speech.

Legacy and the Politics of Racial Terminology

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When a term carries a sordid past, it is tempting to think it should have no future use. Yet the normative life of a word is rarely exhausted by its origins. This article develops legacy analysis as a method for enriching evaluation of what should be done with historically burdened terms. Rather than treating origins as decisive, the framework

Should Dermatologists Recommend Direct‐to‐Consumer App‐Based Remote Diagnostics? An Ethical Analysis

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dermatology patients still face barriers in accessing timely specialist care. As direct‐to‐consumer (DTC) apps for remote dermatological diagnostics proliferate, guidance is lacking. While promising efficiency and efficacy, their clinical—and ethical—legitimacy is not yet well established.
