Abstract

This paper deals with the implementation of speech disorder detection system based on machine learning classification. Problems with speech are a common early symptom of a stroke or other brain injuries. Therefore, detection of speech disorder may lead to correction and fast medical treatment of strokes or cerebrovascular accidents. The speech disorder system can be implemented by extracting features from the input speech and classifying the features using machine learning algorithms. Ten machine learning algorithms with various scaling methods were used to discriminate speech disorder from normal speech. The detection system was evaluated by the TORGO database which contains dysarthric speech collected from speakers with either cerebral palsy or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

본 논문에서는 기계학습 기반의 분류 방법을 이용하여 장애 음성을 검출하고자 한다. 음성 장애 중 마비말 장애는 뇌성마비, 파킨슨 질환, 뇌졸중 등 주로 뇌질환에 의해 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 장애 음성을 검출함으로써 뇌졸중 등의 급성 뇌질환 발생에 대한 조기 처치가 가능하다. 장애 음성 검출은 입력 음성에 대한 특징벡터 추출과 기계학습을 이용한 분류과정을 통해 이루어질 수 있다. 실험을 위해서 장애 음성 DB인 TORGO 데이터를 사용하였으며, 10가지 기계학습 알고리즘과 다양한 특징벡터 스케일링 방법에 대해 장애 음성 검출 성능을 평가하였다.
