Classification of Parkinson's disease by using voice dataset
Abstract:
Parkinsons disease (PD) is a long-term neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. While most experts agree that the risk factors for PD include heredity and environmental factors, the cause of the disease is currently unknown. The current diagnosis is dependent on clinical observation and the abilities and experience of a trained specialist. One of the symptoms that affect most patients over the course of their illness is voice impairment. Voice is a non-invasive biomarker that can be collected remotely for diagnosis and disease progression monitoring. Therefore, in this study, the objective is to classify the PD based on audio analysis from one of the largest mobile PD datasets, the mPower study. The dataset of 29,798 audio clips from 4,051 participants was used in this study. The audio sample was converted to a spectrogram using a short-time Fourier transform to extract the time and frequency of the signal. Three of the most popular modern convolutional neural network models were then applied as classifiers. The classification performance of LeNet-5, ResNet-50, and VGGNet-16 are 97.7 ± 0.1%, 98.6 ± 0.2%, and 99.3 ± 0.1%, respectively. These accurate results on a large number of participants suggest that vocal analysis could be a promising non-invasive and remotely available biomarker for PD diagnosis.
