In the field of information security, voice is one of the most important parts in biometrics. Especially, with the development of voice communication through the Internet or telephone system, huge voice data resources are accessed. In speaker recognition, voiceprint can be applied as the unique password for the user to prove his/her identity. However, speech with various emotions can cause an unacceptably high error rate and aggravate the performance of speaker recognition system. This paper deals with this problem by introducing a cost-sensitive learning technology to reweight the probability of test affective utterances in the pitch envelop level, which can enhance the robustness in emotion-dependent speaker recognition effectively. Based on that technology, a new architecture of recognition system as well as its components is proposed in this paper. The experiment conducted on the Mandarin Affective Speech Corpus shows that an improvement of 8% identification rate over the traditional speaker recognition is achieved.

Complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. In-depth understanding of the mechanisms and management options of these complications as well as timely recognition and action can sometimes be lifesaving. In this review we discuss the mechanisms, prevention methods, diagnosis, and management of three major PCI complications: a) perforation b) acute vessel closure, and c) equipment loss.

We perceive and understand others' emotional states from multisensory information such as facial expressions and vocal cues. However, such cues are not always available or clear. Can partial loss of visual cues affect multisensory emotion perception? In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the widespread use of face masks, which can reduce some facial cues used in emotion perception.

Background: Beyond dementia syndromes, cognitive symptoms are highly prevalent in Parkinson's disease (PD), often manifesting as mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Yet, their detection and characterization remain suboptimal because standard approaches rely on subjective impressions derived from lengthy, univariate tests. Here we introduce a novel approach to detect cognitive symptom severity and identify MCI in PD using fully automated word property analyses on brief verbal fluency tasks.

Background: Digital health research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) points to automated speech and language analysis (ASLA) as a globally scalable approach for diagnosis and monitoring. However, most studies target uninterpretable features in Anglophone samples, casting doubts on the approach's clinical utility and cross-linguistic validity. The present study was designed to tackle both issues.

Background: By 2060, the incidence of ADRD is predicted to increased 6-fold in the US Hispanic population (Matthews, Xu et al. 2019). However, cognitive testing of US Hispanics is complicated by limited Spanish-language test materials and a dearth of examiners fluent in Spanish.
