Description
Summary:Generative models, such as Variational Autoen-coders, are being increasingly utilized for various acoustic modeling tasks, such as anomaly detection from audio signals. Motivated by this, in this work we propose a Convolutional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE), in order to detect and predict the appearance of relapses in patients with psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The proposed system utilizes speech segments of patients, isolated from interviews conducted with their clinicians containing spontaneous speech, and represented as log-mel spectrograms. The results from the analysis of each segment are then aggregated in a per-interview basis. We explore the performance of our system in both a personalized and a universal (patient-independent) setup. Evaluation of our method in data from 13 patients and 375 interviews, with a total duration of 30509 sec of isolated speech, indicate that the CVAE achieves similar results to a Convolutional Autoencoder (CAE) baseline in a personalized setup. Further-more, the proposed model significantly outperforms the CAE baseline when considering a universal relapse detection setup.
