ART-NAD: An Articulatory Inversion-based Neural Acoustic Distance for Pathological Speech Intelligibility Assessment
Bence Mark Halpern, Thomas Tienkamp, Defne Abur +1
Speech assessment tools for speakers with speech pathology must be both accurate and interpretable if they are to be adopted in clinical practice. Existing reference-audio measures…
Improving Automatic Speech Recognition for Speakers Treated for Oral Cancer using Data Augmentation and LLM Error Correction
Hidde Folkertsma, Thomas Tienkamp, Sebastiaan de Visscher +4
In recent years, the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems has made considerable progress. Unfortunately, for people with speech impairments, such as people tre…
PathBench: Speech Intelligibility Benchmark for Automatic Pathological Speech Assessment
Bence Mark Halpern, Thomas Tienkamp, Defne Abur +1
Automatic speech intelligibility assessment is crucial for monitoring speech disorders and therapy efficacy. However, existing methods are difficult to compare: research is fragmen…
Towards explainable reference-free speech intelligibility evaluation of people with pathological speech
Bence Mark Halpern, Thomas Tienkamp, Defne Abur +1
Objective assessment of speech that reflects meaningful changes in communication is crucial for clinical decision making and reproducible research. While existing objective assessm…
XPPG-PCA: Reference-free automatic speech severity evaluation with principal components
Bence Mark Halpern, Thomas B. Tienkamp, Teja Rebernik +5
Reliably evaluating the severity of a speech pathology is crucial in healthcare. However, the current reliance on expert evaluations by speech-language pathologists presents severa…
Relationship between objective and subjective perceptual measures of speech in individuals with head and neck cancer
Bence Mark Halpern, Thomas Tienkamp, Teja Rebernik +4
Meaningful speech assessment is vital in clinical phonetics and therapy monitoring. This study examined the link between perceptual speech assessments and objective acoustic measur…
Articulatory clarity and variability before and after surgery for tongue cancer
Thomas Tienkamp, Fleur van Ast, Roos van der Veen +10
Surgical treatment for tongue cancer can negatively affect the mobility and musculature of the tongue, which can influence articulatory clarity and variability. In this study, we i…
Quantifying the effect of speech pathology on automatic and human speaker verification
Bence Mark Halpern, Thomas Tienkamp, Wen-Chin Huang +7
This study investigates how surgical intervention for speech pathology (specifically, as a result of oral cancer surgery) impacts the performance of an automatic speaker verificati…
Preregistered protocol for: Articulatory changes in speech following treatment for oral or oropharyngeal cancer: a systematic review
Thomas B. Tienkamp, Teja Rebernik, Defne Abur +4
This document outlines a PROSPERO pre-registered protocol for a systematic review regarding articulatory changes in speech following oral or orophayrngeal cancer treatment. Treatme…
Manipulation of oral cancer speech using neural articulatory synthesis
Bence Mark Halpern, Teja Rebernik, Thomas Tienkamp +5
We present an articulatory synthesis framework for the synthesis and manipulation of oral cancer speech for clinical decision making and alleviation of patient stress. Objective an…
