• Abstract summary: The Mice Autism Detection via Ultrasound Vocalization (MADUV) Challenge introduces the first INTERSPEECH challenge focused on detecting autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in mice through their vocalizations. Participants are tasked with developing models to automatically classify mice as either wild-type or ASD models based on recordings with a high sampling rate. Results demonstrate the feasibility of automated ASD detection, with the considered audible-range features achieving the best performance.

• Abstract: The Mice Autism Detection via Ultrasound Vocalization (MADUV) Challenge introduces the first INTERSPEECH challenge focused on detecting autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in mice through their vocalizations. Participants are tasked with developing models to automatically classify mice as either wild-type or ASD models based on recordings with a high sampling rate. Our baseline system employs a simple CNN-based classification using three different spectrogram features. Results demonstrate the feasibility of automated ASD detection, with the considered audible-range features achieving the best performance (UAR of 0.600 for segment-level and 0.625 for subject-level classification). This challenge bridges speech technology and biomedical research, offering opportunities to advance our understanding of ASD models through machine learning approaches. The findings suggest promising directions for vocalization analysis and highlight the potential value of audible and ultrasound vocalizations in ASD detection.

  This study introduces a novel hierarchical feature fusion method aimed at enhancing the early detection of ASD in children. The methodology involves collecting a code-switched speech corpus, CoSAm, from children diagnosed with ASD and a matched control group. The dataset comprises 61 voice recordings from 30 children diagnosed with ASD and 31 from neurotypical children, aged between 3 and 13 years.

  Alzheimer's disease (AD) is particularly prominent in older adults. Recent advances in pre-trained models motivate AD detection modeling to shift from low-level features to high-level representations. This paper presents several efficient methods to extract better AD-related cues from high-level acoustic and linguistic features.

  Articulatory features are invariant to acoustic signal distortion and have been successfully incorporated into automatic speech recognition systems. This paper presents a cross-domain and cross-lingual A2A inversion approach that utilizes the parallel audio and ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) data of the 24-hour TaL corpus in A2A model pre-training. Experiments conducted on three tasks suggested incorporating the generated articulatory features consistently outperformed the baseline TDNN and Conformer ASR systems.

  We analyse the usage of a SotA ASR system to transcribe participant's spoken descriptions from a picture. We study the influence of a language model -- which tends to correct non-standard sequences of words -- with the lack of language model to decode the hypothesis from the ASR. The proposed system combines acoustic -- based on prosody and voice quality -- and lexical features based on the first occurrence of the most common words.
