Evaluating performance of commercial automatic speech recognition systems for speakers with dysarthria
(Technological University of the Shannon Midlands Midwest, 2022)Dysarthria refers to motor neuron speech disorders that limit the ability to control muscle groups used for speech production. Dysarthric speech has reduced intelligibility due to being slurry, breathy and slow compared ... -
A telehealth monitoring system for target physical therapy in Parkinson's
(Technological University of the Shannon Midlands Midwest, 2022)Parkinson’s disease is a neurological movement disorder that effects more than 10 million people worldwide [1]. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes as a barely noticeable tremor in one hand. These symptoms worsen as the ... -
Using teachers' judgments of quality to establish performance standards in technology education across schools, communities, and nations
(Frontiers, 2022-03-18)The establishment and maintenance of national examination standards remains a serious issue for teachers and learners, whilst the levers of control remain firmly in the hands of Awarding Bodies and supervising politicians. ... -
Analytics can be used to predict fatigue and improve athletes' performance in various sports
(2022)In sports analytics, statistics are plugged into a mathematical model to predict the outcome of a given play or game. Coaches use it to optimize plays during games,while front offices can use it to decide which players ... -
A quality of experience evaluation of example versus procedural instruction formats for augmented reality based procedure training
