This work reviews the advancements in the non-conventional analysis of speech signals,
particularly from an AM-FM analysis point of view. The benefits of such an analysis, as …

Swallowing disorders, especially dysphagia, might lead to malnutrition and dehydration and
could potentially lead to fatal aspiration. Benchmark swallowing assessments, such as …

Making no claim of being exhaustive, a review of the most popular MFCC (Mel Frequency
Cepstral Coefficients) implementations is made. These differ mainly in the particular …

We have combined an echo state network (ESN) with a competitive state machine
framework to create a classification engine called the predictive ESN classifier. We derive …

In this study, we wanted to discriminate between two groups of participants (patients with
Parkinson's disease and healthy people) by analyzing 3 types of voice recordings. Firstly we …

Speech has been one of the major communication medium for years and will continue to do
so until video communication becomes widely available and easily accessible. Although …

Face detection and emotion selection is the one of the current topic in the security field
which provides solution to various challenges. Beside traditional challenges in captured …

The problem of attending to the health of the aged who live alone has became an important
issue in developed countries. One way of solving the problem is to check their health …

The echo state network (ESN) has been recently proposed as an alternative recurrent neural
network model. An ESN consists of a reservoir of conventional processing elements, which …

Artificial neural networks have been shown to perform well in automatic speech recognition
(ASR) tasks, although their complexity and excessive computational costs have limited their …
