The DesPho-APaDy Project

C. Fougeron, L. Crevier-Buchman, C. Fredouille, A. Ghio, C. Meunier, C. Chevrie-Muller, N. Audibert, J.-F. Bonastre, A. Colazo Simon, C. Delooze, D. Duez, C. Gendrot, T. Legou, N. Levèque, C. Pillot-Loiseau, S. Pinto, G. Pouchoulin, D. Robert, J. Vaissier

Provide a systematic and quantified description of French dysarthric speech, over a large population of patients and three dysarthria types (related to the parkinson's disease, the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis disease, and a pure cerebellar alteration). This dataset is made up of two corpus, Aix-Neurology-Hospital corpus and CCM corpus. Patients were recorded while going through a variety of speech tasks like counting, storytelling, word lists, syllables, vowels, spontaneus speech and sentence lists.

A Corpus of Text Data and Gaze Fixations from Autistic and Non-autistic Adults

V. Yaneva, I. Temnikova, R. Mitkov

This work creates a corpus of text data and its corresponding gaze fixations obtained from autistic and non-autistic readers so as to create a resource for investigating the particular linguistic constructions which pose reading difficulties for people with autism. Participants were asked to read 9 texts and answer 3 multiple choice questions (MCQs) per text. While reading, the eye movements of the participants were recorded with an eye-tracking device.

PDLens

H. Zhang, G. Guo, C. Song, C. Xu, K. Cheung, J. Alexis, H. Li, D. Li, K. Wang, W. Xu

PDLens, a smartphone-based system, extracts digital behavioral markers related to PD drug responses from everyday activities to detect drug efectiveness. Digital PD biomarkers were collected from three everyday activities, i.e., walking, standing, and talking and drug effectiveness was detected by measuring the symptom severity before and after drug intake.

Diagnosing People with Dementia Using Automatic Conversation Analysis

B. Mirheidari, D. Blackburn, M. Reuber, T. Walker, H. Christensen

Apply conversation analysis (CA) to doctor-patient interactions and find characteristics that could be used to distinguish between patients with neurodegenerative dementia (ND) and patients with Functional Memory Disorder (FMD) (not dementia-related) Audio recordings of conversations were collected, transcribed and 21 features were extracted from them that could potentially differentiate between patients with neurogenerative disorders and functional memory disorders.

A neural network system for diagnosis and assessment of tremor in parkinson disease patients

O. Bazgir, J. Frounchi

Smartphone sensors are used to classify tremors in Parkinson's patients corellated with the UPDRS scale. Participants wore smartphone based gloves and data during tremors was collected, data from 43 participants was collected for training the neural network classifier and another 9 participants produced the testing set.

The design and field evaluation of PhotoTalk: a digital image communication application for people

M. Allen, J. McGrenere, B. Purves

This work aims to build an application for a mobile device that allows people with aphasia to independently capture and manage digital photographs to support face-to-face communication. Two participants took and labeled photographs of objects. They would reaarrange them and hence generate logs of user interaction.

TheRuSLan: Database of Russian Sign Language

D. Ryumin, A. Axyonov, A. Karpov

A Russian sign language corpus is collected that focussed on a format, which used handshape, location, hand trajectory and hand orientation as the key features to be captured. Each sign was repeated to build a machine learning friendly dataset. Kinect 2.0 camera recorded the gestures was used to collect the corpus that was aligned and annotated afterwards.

Narrative skills in adolescents with a history of SLI in relation to non-verbal IQ scores

D. Wetherell, N. Botting, G. Conti-Ramsden

Qualitative differences in verbal activities of children with verbal impairments are ascertained. Audio collected during recitation of two stories was transcribed. Only 8 of 19 adolescents had verbal IQ's below 85. More features on narrative ability were extracted as well.
