- 用梅尔频率倒谱系数提取语音特征,比较深度神经网络与传统机器学习模型
- 在两个数据集上准确率分别达98.65%和92.11%,显著优于传统方法
- 结果对临床早期筛查有实用价值,适合关注智能诊断的研究者
帕金森病(PD)是一种进行性神经退行性疾病,常伴随发音减弱(hypophonia)和构音障碍(dysarthria)等语音异常,这些症状多出现在早期阶段。利用语音生物标志物辅助早期诊断,具有非侵入、低成本、易获取的优势。本横断面研究系统评估了深度神经网络(DNN)与传统机器学习(ML)模型在区分帕金森患者与健康对照方面的表现,使用两个公开语音数据集。从语音样本中提取梅尔频率倒谱系数(MFCCs),通过1000次独立随机验证评估模型鲁棒性。因数据不满足正态分布假设,采用非参数检验(Kruskal-Wallis及Bonferroni校正事后检验)分析分类性能差异。结果显示,DNN在意大利语音数据集和帕金森远程监测数据集上的平均准确率分别为98.65%和92.11%,显著优于传统机器学习模型,且与已有研究相比表现相当甚至更优。研究表明,深度神经网络在基于语音的神经退行性疾病早期检测中具有更高准确性和可靠性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that, in addition to directly impairing functional mobility, is frequently associated with vocal impairments such as hypophonia and dysarthria, which typically manifest in the early stages. The use of vocal biomarkers to support the early diagnosis of PD presents a non-invasive, low-cost, and accessible alternative in clinical settings. Thus, the objective of this cross-sectional study was to consistently evaluate the effectiveness of a Deep Neural Network (DNN) in distinguishing individuals with Parkinson's disease from healthy controls, in comparison with traditional Machine Learning (ML) methods, using vocal biomarkers. Two publicly available voice datasets were used. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) were extracted from the samples, and model robustness was assessed using a validation strategy with 1000 independent random executions. Performance was evaluated using classification statistics. Since normality assumptions were not satisfied, non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis and Bonferroni post-hoc tests) were applied to verify whether the tested classification models were similar or different in the classification of PD. With an average accuracy of $98.65\%$ and $92.11\%$ on the Italian Voice dataset and Parkinson's Telemonitoring dataset, respectively, the DNN demonstrated superior performance and efficiency compared to traditional ML models, while also achieving competitive results when benchmarked against relevant studies. Overall, this study confirms the efficiency of DNNs and emphasizes their potential to provide greater accuracy and reliability for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases using voice-based biomarkers.
