Foreign Accent and Forensic Speaker Identification in Voice Lineups: The Influence of Acoustic Features Based on Prosody
Published on: September 27, 2024
Deviations of acoustic low-level descriptors in speech features of a set of triplets, one with autism
Abstract:
Verbal speech of children diagnosed with ASD is explored in order to identify patterns autism has left in speech, and to model such patterns for implementing automatic diagnostic and screening frameworks. In this study, we identify the deviations of acoustic low-level descriptors (LLDs) in voice of an autistic adolescent from her typically developing triplet siblings. The goal is to identify the atypicality in voice introduced by autism under minimum gender, age, genetic, and language bias and use the gained insights to build a more generalized model by adding more subjects hierarchically. We report the most significant LLDs that describe the deviations of acoustic features due to autism for categories of utterances and feature groups.

Standard Deviation
Mean Absolute Deviation
Let us consider a dataset containing the number of unsold cupcakes in five shops: 10, 15, 8, 7, and 10. Initially, calculate the sample mean. Then calculate the deviation, or the difference, between each data value and the mean. Next, the absolute values of these deviations are added and divided by the sample size to...
Autism Spectrum Disorder
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Calculating Standard Deviation
The standard deviation value is small when all the data is concentrated close to the mean. Here the data exhibits low variation. The standard deviation value is larger when the data values are more spread out from the mean. Here, the data displays high...
