• Title: COVID-19 Patient Detection from Telephone Quality Speech Data
• Authors: Kotra Venkata Sai Ritwik, Shareef Babu Kalluri, Deepu Vijayasenan
• Abstract summary: We try to investigate the presence of cues about the COVID-19 disease in the speech data. An SVM classifier on this dataset is able to achieve an accuracy of 88.6% and an F1-Score of 92.7%. Some phone classes, such as nasals, stops, and mid vowels can distinguish the two classes better than the others.

• Abstract: In this paper, we try to investigate the presence of cues about the COVID-19 disease in the speech data. We use an approach that is similar to speaker recognition. Each sentence is represented as super vectors of short term Mel filter bank features for each phoneme. These features are used to learn a two-class classifier to separate the COVID-19 speech from normal. Experiments on a small dataset collected from YouTube videos show that an SVM classifier on this dataset is able to achieve an accuracy of 88.6% and an F1-Score of 92.7%. Further investigation reveals that some phone classes, such as nasals, stops, and mid vowels can distinguish the two classes better than the others.

As compared to other existing COVID-19 sound datasets, the unique feature of the COVYT dataset is that it comprises both COVID-19 positive and negative samples from all 65 speakers.

  We present an experimental investigation into the automatic detection of COVID-19 from smartphone recordings of coughs, breaths and speech. We base our experiments on two datasets, Coswara and ComParE, containing recordings of coughing, breathing and speech. We conclude that among all vocal audio, coughs carry the strongest COVID-19 signature followed by breath and speech.

  In this paper, we envision a web-based framework that can help anyone, anywhere around the world record a short speech task, and analyze the recorded data to screen for Parkinson's disease (PD) We collected data from 726 unique participants (262 PD, 38% female; 464 non-PD, 65% female; average age: 61) from all over the US and beyond. We extracted both standard acoustic features (MFCC), jitter and shimmer variants, and deep learning based features from the speech data. Our model performed equally well on data collected in controlled lab environment as well as 'in the wild'

  We propose a differentiable approximation to the F-measure and train the network with this objective using standard backpropagation. We perform experiments on two standard fairness datasets, Adult, Communities and Crime, and also on speech-to-intent detection on the ATIS dataset and speech-to-image concept classification on the Speech-COCO dataset. In all four of these tasks, F-measure results in improved micro-F1 scores, with absolute improvements of up to 8% absolute, as compared to models trained with the cross-entropy loss function.

In probing experiments, we find that the latent representations encode richer information of both phoneme and speaker than that of the last layer.
