GData Motor Impairment Estimates via Touchscreen Typing Dynamics Toward Parkinson's Disease Detection From Data Harvested In-the-Wild

D. Iakovakis, S. Hadjidimitriou, V. Charisis

A machine learning classifier to automatically detect motor impariment in patients with Parkinson's disease is constructed using a dataset collected by recording touchscreen keystrokes in the wild. Subjects from four countries across EU contributed pseudo-anonymised multimodal data remotely on keyboard interactions and keystroke dynamics through the app install on their smartphone. The characters typed were not captured to have the process privacy-aware.

The Whitaker database of dysarthric (cerebral palsy) speech

J. R. Deller, M. S. Liu, L. J. Ferrier, P. Robichaud

This dataset is collected to enhance research into speech recognition systems for dysarthic speech. It consists of 19275 isolated‐word utterances of speakers with dysarthria due to cerebral palsy. Participants read the TI-46 word list and Grandfather word list. It is created in an effort to provide a standard collection of speech which may be used internationally for the development of recognition technology and in studies of speech perception or articulation.

Hakim Fluency Corpus

H. Hakim, N. Ratner

This work aims to understand a linguistic component to stuttering and investigate an experimental method for assessing the linguistic abilities of children with specifically language-impaired and children who stutter. Audio files contain the pariticpants' responses to non-word repetition tasks used as measures for children's linguistic abilities found to be correlated with vocabulary and reading skills.

POLER Corpus

William D. Gaillard, M. Berl, N. Ratner, A. Strekas, M. Lowe

This dataset is part of the project Plasticity of Language in Epilepsy Research and used to compare the language skills of two groups of children with epilepsy—those with recent onset seizures and those with more chronic seizure activity. Participanst were asked to perform standardized IQ and language testing and produce narratives to accompany the book Frog, Where Are You? (1969) for analysis of syntax, vocabulary and narrative components.

EllisWeismer Corpus

S. Weismer

This dataset is part of a project titled "Linguistic Processing in Specific Language Delay” and used to identify late talkers at risk for language disorders in order to provide them with earlier language intervention. Language sample collection was performed at the yearly assessment visits at different ages, and studies have examined lexical, morphological, and discourse processing.

FluencyBank Voices-AWC Corpus

Y. Zaalen

This work aims to capture participants’ experience of stuttering to buid a new instrument (OASES) for measuring the overall impact of stuttering. Each participant completed a reading task and an interview to learn more about the behaviors and affective/cognitive features of living with cluttering.
