AI framework classifies vocal hyperfunction subtypes

Researchers have developed a hierarchical feature engineering framework to automatically classify vocal hyperfunction subtypes using neck-surface acceleration data. This method integrates static, dynamic, ratio-based, and coupling features to distinguish between phonotraumatic (PVH), non-phonotraumatic (NPVH), and healthy vocal patterns. The framework achieved an AUC of 0.891 for PVH and 0.728 for NPVH, highlighting the importance of coupling features for accurate classification. AI

    A Hierarchical Feature Engineering Framework for Automated Classification of Phonotraumatic and Non-Phonotraumatic Vocal Hyperfunction

    arXiv:2606.07673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ambulatory neck-surface acceleration enables non-invasive monitoring of vocal hyperfunction, yet robust biomarkers for its subtypes remain limited. This study investigates the NeckVibe Challenge dataset to distinguish phonotraumat…
