\nThis talk will outline the major challenging in porti ng mainstream speech technology to the domain of clinical applications\; i n particular\, the need for personalised systems\, the challenge of workin g in an inherently sparse data domain and developing meaningful collaborat ions with all stakeholders. The talk will give an overview of recent state -of-the-art research from current projects including in the areas of recog nition of disordered speech\, automatic processing of conversations and th e automatic detection and tracking of paralinguistic information at the Un iversity of Sheffield (UK)’s Speech and Hearing (SPandH) & Healthcare lab.
\nBiography
\nHeidi is a Senior Lecturer (as sociate professor) in Computer Science at the University of Sheffield\, Un ited Kingdom. Her research interests are on the application of AI-based vo ice technologies to healthcare. In particular\, the detection and monitori ng of people’s physical and mental health including verbal and non-verbal traits for expressions of emotion\, anxiety\, depression and neurodegenera tive conditions in e.g.\, therapeutic or diagnostic settings.
