  • 用低容量逻辑回归探针逐层分析九个自监督语音模型
  • 跨语言迁移后模型对帕金森与痴呆语音判别概率相似
  • 模型性能受源数据集影响大,缺乏病理特异性

自监督学习(SSL)语音表征在单一语料库内对帕金森病(PD)检测表现优异。然而,这些模型捕捉的是疾病相关特征,还是利用了数据集特有的混淆因素,仍不明确,尤其是大多数SSL骨干网络仅在健康语音上预训练。为探究此问题,我们在三种语言中对九个SSL语音骨干网络进行逐层分析,使用低容量逻辑回归探针评估。评估设计为多个逐步引入参与者身份、录音条件、语言和病理差异的情景。结果揭示两个关键发现:第一,最优表征层的选择高度依赖于源数据集,而非SSL架构本身;第二,迁移后的判别信号缺乏病理特异性:训练用于检测PD的分类器在目标语料库中对PD和痴呆语音赋予相似高概率。这些结果凸显了临床部署语音病理识别模型前必须解决的关键局限。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Self-supervised learning (SSL) speech representations achieve strong performance for Parkinson's disease (PD) detection within individual corpora. However, it remains unclear whether these models capture disease-related characteristics or exploit dataset-specific confounds, particularly since most SSL backbones are pretrained exclusively on healthy speech. To investigate this question, we perform a layer-wise analysis of nine SSL speech backbones using a low-capacity logistic regression probe across three languages. We structure the evaluation as multiple scenarios that progressively introduce distribution shifts in participant identity, recording conditions, language, and pathology. Our results reveal two key findings. First, layer selection is highly corpus-dependent: the optimal representation layer is determined primarily by the source dataset rather than by the SSL architecture itself. Second, the transferred discriminative signal lacks pathological specificity: classifiers trained to detect PD assign similarly high probabilities to both PD and dementia speech in the target corpus. These results highlight critical limitations that must be addressed before speech-based pathology recognition models can be reliably deployed in clinical settings.
