Abstract:
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) produce speech sounds different from that of Normal or non-ASD children. Acoustic features are analyzed first and then classification of ASD vs Normal speech is attempted using different machine learning techniques. Changes in the speech production characteristics of children are explored using three sets of features. Various combinations of the acoustic features are classified utilizing machine learning methods such as probabilistic neural network (PNN), multilayer perceptron (MLP), support vector machine (SVM), and K-nearest neighbors (KNN). The observations and this study results may be useful as acoustic biomarkers to identify autism and its progression/cure among children.
