Analysis and Tuning of a Voice Assistant System for Dysfluent Speech [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Dysfluencies and variations in speech pronunciation can severely degrade speech recognition performance, and for many individuals with moderate-to-severe speech disorders, voice operated systems do not work. Current speech recognition systems are trained primarily with data from fluent speakers and as a consequence do not generalize well to speech ...

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.This study introduces a textile‐based capacitive pressure sensor featuring a triangular prism microstructure, which significantly enhances sensitivity to 5.52% kPa−¹ and supports a wide sensing range up to 330 kPa. The sensor's performance is validated in a 4‐channel capacitive pressure‐based force myography (cFMG) armband for gesture recognition ...

Voice Disorder Detection Using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Automated detection of voice disorders with computational methods is a recent research area in the medical domain since it requires a rigorous endoscopy for the accurate diagnosis. Efficient screening methods are required for the diagnosis of voice disorders so as to provide timely medical facilities in minimal resources. Detecting Voice disorder using

Nonverbal Sound Detection for Disordered Speech [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Voice assistants have become an essential tool for people with various disabilities because they enable complex phone- or tablet-based interactions without the need for fine-grained motor control, such as with touchscreens. However, these systems are not tuned for the unique characteristics of individuals with speech disorders, including many of those ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 1970-1982, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are increasingly used as a management and conservation strategy. However, the effects of MPA implementation (i.e. restrictions on extractive use) on recreational fishers' spatial behaviour are often not considered.
