Prof. Paavo Alku Lecture: Glottal Inverse Filtering and Its Application in Automatic Classification of Diseases

11th March 2024, 17:00 CET

The UEP Biomarker Committee held a meeting on March 11, 2024 (5–6pm Brussels time) exploring voice-related biomarkers for voice and swallowing problems in Parkinson's patients. Professor Paavo Alku from Aalto University (Finland) presented on inverse filtering of the voice signal — exploring glottal closure and aerodynamic voice dimensions via inverse filtering.

Abstract

A short introduction to glottal inverse filtering (GIF) methods covering the history, benefits and drawbacks of GIF, and the most common voice source parameters. The use of GIF and voice source parameters in machine learning-based classification of pathological speech is described, including experiments on automatic detection of Parkinson's disease and heart failure from speech.
