Comparison of speech parameterization techniques for the classification of speech disfluencies
(Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey, 2013-12)
Stuttering assessment through the manual classification of speech disfluencies is subjective, inconsistent, time-consuming, and prone to error. The aim of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of the 3 speech feature ...
A hybrid expert system approach for telemonitoring of vocal fold pathology
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)
Acoustical parameters extracted from the recorded voice samples are actively pursued for accurate detection of vocal fold pathology. Most of the system for detection of vocal fold pathology uses high quality voice samples. ...
Objective investigation of vision impairments using single trial pattern reversal visually evoked potentials
(Elsevier Ltd., 2013-07)
Visually evoked potentials (VEPs) originate from the occipital cortex and have long been used as a reliable indicator for vision impairments by ophthalmologists. Any abnormalities in the visual pathways of a person can be ...
Objective evaluation of speech dysfluencies using wavelet packet transform with sample entropy
(Elsevier Inc, 2013-05)
Dysfluency and stuttering are a break or interruption of normal speech such as repetition, prolongation, interjection of syllables, sounds, words or phrases and involuntary silent pauses or blocks in communication. Stuttering ...
New newborn jaundice monitoring scheme based on combination of pre-processing and color detection method
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)
Newborn jaundice is an apparent yellowing of the sclera or yellowish skin in newborn infants. This symptom is caused by a yellow pigment known as bilirubin. A high level of bilirubin in the infant is referred to as ...
Preventing sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) based on motion estimation and neural network
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013)
What is SIDS? SIDS is known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or referred as the cot death; there are no explainable causes of death after the autopsy. No one knows what causes SIDS, however researchers have theorized that ...
Fuzzy k-NN and k-NN algorithm for fast infant cues detection
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013)
In this paper, tremble stage assessment is explained and reviewed for detecting facial changes of patient in a hospital in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The facial changes are most widely represented by eyes and ...
Stockwell transform and clustering techniques for efficient detection of vision impairments from single trial VEPs
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2013)
Pattern reversal visually evoked potentials (VEPs) provide valuable information about the visual nerves pathways and is a promising field to be explored for the investigation of vision impairments. The conventional method ...
Infant hungry recognition based on k-NN and Autoregressive Model
(American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved., 2013-11)
To study their behaviour without knowing what their needs is another crucial issue. A lot of researches have been rapidly investigated. Thus, in this paper we proudly proposed a system to determine the hungry infant based ...
Analysis of the residual between the model and the data using autocorrelation function for satellite attitude estimation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-03)
Objective of this paper is to investigate whether the noise in attitude dynamics model and measurement model is Gaussian white noise process or not. This is important because if the assumption regarding the noise is wrong, ...
