Speech Language Pathologist

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) diagnose and treat communication disorders, a field currently undergoing significant advancements through AI-driven tools. Research focuses on developing automated systems for detecting and classifying various speech disorders like stuttering, dysarthria, and aphasia, leveraging machine learning models such as transformers, perceivers, and self-supervised speech models to analyze acoustic features and improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. These advancements aim to enhance the efficiency and objectivity of SLP assessments, potentially expanding access to timely and effective interventions for individuals with communication difficulties.
