Acoustical measures of vocal functions are used in the assessments of voice disorders and monitoring the subject's improvement with speech therapy. In this chapter, a hybrid approach is proposed to identify the acute spots in pathological speech signals. These spots represents where the speech disorder occurs. The speech training for that specific portion of speech in particular could be given for enhancing the speeches. Dimensionality reduction is done using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC) extracted. By statistical method it is proved that overall 91.60% of the words were classified correctly. The features were trained using Support Vector Machines (SVM) for categorizing normally and abnormally pronounced words. The peaks found by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in abnormal words is made use of in the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) for finding the acute spots in which the aberration has occurred in the word. This hybrid approach was found to have around 98% accuracy.

This paper presents a novel feature selection method to design a non-invasive driver drowsiness detection system based on steering wheel data. The proposed feature selector can select the most related features to the drowsiness level to improve the classification accuracy. This method is based on the combination of the filter and wrapper feature selection algorithms using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). In this method firstly, four different filter indexes are applied on extracted features from steering wheel data. After that, output values of each filter index are imported as inputs to a fuzzy inference system to determine the importance degree of each feature and select the most important features. Then, the selected features are imported to a support vector machine (SVM) for binary classification to classify the driving conditions in two classes of drowsy and awake. Finally, the classifier accuracy is exploited to adjust parameters of an adaptive fuzzy system using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The experimental data were collected from about 20.5 h of driving in the simulator. The results show that the drowsiness detection system is working with a high accuracy and also confirm that this method is more accurate than the recent available algorithms.
