AI Article Synopsis

  • - This paper introduces a new method for detecting voice activity using advanced statistical techniques in a complex feature space created through nonlinear mapping.
  • - It utilizes a Gaussian density model along with kernel principal component analysis to capture the unique characteristics of speech signals.
  • - The method features a decision-making process that relies on a multiple observation likelihood ratio test applied in the kernel space to improve detection accuracy.

Article Abstract

This paper proposes a statistical voice activity detection method in a high-dimensional kernel feature space by a nonlinear mapping. A Gaussian density model is presented using kernel principal component analysis to represent the nonlinear characteristics of the speech signal. The proposed approach offers a decision rule based on a multiple observation likelihood ratio test in the kernel space.

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) are the most common cause of drug-induced angioedema in the United States. Our primary objective was to provide descriptive evidence regarding emergency department (ED) disposition of ACEI-induced angioedema patients. Our secondary objective was to evaluate unique patterns in those with ACEI-induced angioedema at a tertiary referral center, including demographics, details of those requiring intubation, length of inpatient stay, and allergy documentation.

Acoustic Characteristics of Voice and Speech in Post-COVID-19.

Healthcare (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Computer Science, Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, University of São Paulo (USP), São Paulo 05508-220, SP, Brazil.

Background/objectives: The aim of this paper was to compare voice and speech characteristics between post-COVID-19 and control subjects. The hypothesis was that acoustic parameters of voice and speech may differentiate subjects infected by COVID-19 from control subjects. Additionally, we expected to observe the persistence of symptoms in women.

Objective: Besides psychosocial stressors, teachers are exposed to disturbing noise at work, such as students' irrelevant speech. Few studies have focused on this issue and its health consequences. We explored occupational noise exposure among teachers within the French workforce and analyzed how noise and work-related stress are related to their health.
