Disentangling Acoustic Cues in Alzheimer's Pathology and Perception: The Roles of Language and Gender
Liu He, Yuanchao Li, Yin-Long Liu +5
Acoustic biomarkers show promise for detecting Alzheimer's Disease (AD), yet whether the cues driving diagnostic AI align with those salient to human listeners is underexplored acr…
AdaLTM: Adaptive Layer-wise Task Vector Merging for Categorical Speech Emotion Recognition with ASR Knowledge Integration
Chia-Yu Lee, Huang-Cheng Chou, Tzu-Quan Lin +4
Integrating Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) into Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) enhances modeling by providing linguistic context. However, conventional feature fusion faces p…
CoSTA: Cognitive-State-Conditioned TTS Data Augmentation Using ASR Transcripts for Alzheimer's Disease Detection
Yin-Long Liu, Yuanchao Li, Yiming Wang +8
Speech-based Alzheimer's Disease (AD) detection is constrained by scarce pathological speech data. To address this, we propose CoSTA, a Text-to-Speech (TTS)-based data augmentation…
AVI-Bench: Toward Human-like Audio-Visual Intelligence of Omni-MLLMs
Yaoting Wang, Ziyi Zhang, Wenming Tu +10
Recent advances in Omni-Multimodal Large Language Models (Omni-MLLMs) have enabled strong integration of vision, audio, and language. However, their audio-visual intelligence (AVI)…
Speech Emotion Recognition with ASR Integration
Yuanchao Li
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) plays a pivotal role in understanding human communication, enabling emotionally intelligent systems, and serving as a fundamental component in the…
Exploring Gender Bias in Alzheimer's Disease Detection: Insights from Mandarin and Greek Speech Perception
Liu He, Yuanchao Li, Rui Feng +5
Gender bias has been widely observed in speech perception tasks, influenced by the fundamental voicing differences between genders. This study reveals a gender bias in the percepti…
