• Abstract summary: Aphasia is a language disorder that can lead to speech errors known as paraphasias. We present novel approaches that use a generative pretrained transformer (GPT) to identify paraphasias from transcripts. We demonstrate that a single sequence model outperforms GPT baselines for multiclass paraphasia detection.

• Abstract: Aphasia is a language disorder that can lead to speech errors known as paraphasias, which involve the misuse, substitution, or invention of words. Automatic paraphasia detection can help those with Aphasia by facilitating clinical assessment and treatment planning options. However, most automatic paraphasia detection works have focused solely on binary detection, which involves recognizing only the presence or absence of a paraphasia. Multiclass paraphasia detection represents an unexplored area of research that focuses on identifying multiple types of paraphasias and where they occur in a given speech segment. We present novel approaches that use a generative pretrained transformer (GPT) to identify paraphasias from transcripts as well as two end-to-end approaches that focus on modeling both automatic speech recognition (ASR) and paraphasia classification as multiple sequences vs. a single sequence. We demonstrate that a single sequence model outperforms GPT baselines for multiclass paraphasia detection.

  Alzheimer's Disease (AD) detection has emerged as a promising research area that employs machine learning classification models. We identify within-class variation as a critical challenge in AD detection: individuals with AD exhibit a spectrum of cognitive impairments. We propose two novel methods: Soft Target Distillation (SoTD) and Instance-level Re-balancing (InRe), targeting two problems respectively.

  Paraphasias are speech errors that are characteristic of aphasia and represent an important signal in assessing disease severity and subtype. Traditionally, clinicians manually identify paraphasias by transcribing and analyzing speech-language samples. We propose a novel, sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) model that is trained end-to-end (E2E) to perform both ASR and paraphasia detection tasks.

  This paper presents a fully automated approach for identifying speech anomalies from voice recordings to aid in the assessment of speech impairments. By combining Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) and encoder-decoder-based automatic speech recognition models, we generate rich acoustic and clean transcripts. We then apply several natural language processing methods to extract features from these transcripts to produce prototypes of healthy speech.
