In this talk Dr. Stylianou will present new signal processing based methods for voice function assessment. First, a mathematical description of jitter will be presented and its evaluation on real speech data will be discussed. Next, Extended and Adaptive Sinusoidal Models will be reviewed and their application on jitter, shimmer and tremor estimation problems will be demonstrated. Finally, the representation of dysphonic voices in terms of modulation spectra and their use in the objective evaluation of voice quality will be shown.
