Operationalizing Clinical Speech Analytics: Moving From Features to Measures for Real-World Clinical Impact.
Julie LissVisar BerishaPublished in: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR (2024)
Transitioning from speech features to speech measures offers a more targeted approach for developing speech analytics tools in clinical settings. This shift ensures that models are not only technically sound but also clinically relevant and interpretable, thereby bridging the gap between laboratory research and practical health care applications. We encourage further exploration and adoption of this approach for developing interpretable speech representations tailored to specific clinical needs.
