Abstract:

Articulation disorder means having difficulties during pronunciations, leading to incorrect articulations and unclear sentences. Articulation disorder has been a common child language issue. Currently, there is no any unified sayings for articulation disorders classification in the Taiwan's medical field. Thus, a speech therapist is required for analysis and treatment in hospitals. After a series of pronunciations, a speech therapist will make an analysis based on childrens pronunciations. Children will return to the hospitals for months continuously to improve their conditions. Nevertheless, the treatment can only benefit children with articulation disorder by receiving treatments in hospitals, slowing down the treatment cycle. The purpose of this work is to automate the diagnosis for articulation disorder by combining the latest AI's convolutional neural network (CNN). Results show that LeNet-5 which achieved 94.56% Top-1 accuracy with the smallest model size is more suitable to apply articulations disorder application on mobile devices.
