On the importance of normative data in speech-based assessment
Data sets for identifying Alzheimer's disease (AD) are often relatively sparse, which limits their ability to train generalizable models. Here, we augment such a data set, DementiaBank, with each of two normative data sets, the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study and Talk2Me, each of which employs a speech-based picture-description assessment. Through minority class oversampling with ADASYN, we outperform state-of-the-art results in binary classification of people with and without AD in DementiaBank. This work highlights the effectiveness of combining sparse and difficult-to-acquire patient data with relatively large and easily accessible normative datasets.

Data-Efficient ASR Personalization for Non-Normative Speech Using an Uncertainty-Based Phoneme Difficulty Score for Guided Sampling
ASR systems struggle with non-normative speech due to high acoustic variability and data scarcity. We propose a data-efficient method using phoneme-level uncertainty to guide fine-tuning for personalization. Instead of c…
Idiosyncratic Versus Normative Modeling of Atypical Speech Recognition: Dysarthric Case Studies
State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) models like Whisper, perform poorly on atypical speech, such as that produced by individuals with dysarthria. Past works for atypical speech have mostly investigated fu…
Speech RecognitionTowards Synthesizing Normative Data for Cognitive Assessments Using Generative Multimodal Large Language Models
Cognitive assessments require normative data as essential benchmarks for evaluating individual performance. Hence, developing new cognitive tests based on novel image stimuli is challenging due to the lack of readily ava…
Longitudinal Acoustic Speech Tracking Following Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury
Recommendations for common outcome measures following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) support the integration of instrumental measurements alongside perceptual assessment in recovery and treatment plans. A compreh…
Variational Low-Rank Adaptation for Personalized Impaired Speech Recognition
Speech impairments resulting from congenital disorders, such as cerebral palsy, down syndrome, or apert syndrome, as well as acquired brain injuries due to stroke, traumatic accidents, or tumors, present major challenges…
