Abstract
The early detection of pathologies is a significant challenge in the healthcare sector and often requires the involvement of multiple specialists in different areas. The analysis of bio-signals, such as speech, gait, and video, has shown promising results in detecting pathologies. In this study, we propose using phase plots extracted from electroglottographs (EGG) and acoustic signals to detect voice disorders automatically. The method consists in using the visual information provided by the plots and processing the information with convolutional neural networks for quantitative analysis of voice quality. We test our approach with EGG and acoustic signals from the Saarbruecken Voice Database (SVD), which contains recordings of 687 controls and 1186 patients diagnosed with 71 different voice pathologies. In addition to the phase plots, state-of-the-art features were computed for quantitative assessment. An 85 % accuracy was obtained when we combined the proposed phase plots with filter-bank features.
