New ML framework detects Parkinson's from Bengali speech

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed BenSParX, a novel explainable machine learning framework designed for detecting Parkinson's disease from Bengali conversational speech. This framework addresses a critical gap, as no prior voice datasets for Parkinson's disease existed for the Bengali language, spoken by over 230 million people. BenSParX integrates diverse acoustic features, advanced ML classifiers, and SHAP analysis for interpretability, achieving a 95.67% accuracy, 95.62% F1 score, and 0.990 AUC. The system also demonstrated strong performance on existing datasets in other languages, paving the way for more equitable and accessible digital health diagnostics. AI

IMPACT Enables early Parkinson's disease detection in under-resourced Bengali-speaking populations, promoting equitable healthcare.

    BenSParX: A Robust Explainable Machine Learning Framework for Parkinson's Disease Detection from Bengali Conversational Speech

    arXiv:2505.12192v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Early detection of PD remains particularly challenging in resource-constrained settings, where voice-based analysis has emerged as a promising non-invasive and cost-effective alternative. However, existing studies predominantly …
