Improved Speaker Independent Dysarthria Intelligibility Classification Using Deepspeech Posteriors

Individuals with dysarthria are unable to control rapid movement of the velum leading to reduction in intelligibility, audibility, naturalness and efficiency of vocal communication. Automatic intelligibility assessment of dysarthric patients allows clinicians diagnose the impact of therapy and medication and also to plan future course of action. Earlier works have concentrated on building speaker dependent machine learning systems for...
