    Abstract: Disclosed herein are speech therapeutic devices and methods. In one aspect, the speech therapeutic device includes audio input circuitry, signal processing circuitry, and stimulus circuitry. In certain embodiments, the audio input circuitry is configured to provide an input signal that is indicative of speech provided by a user and the signal processing circuitry is configured to utilize a reconfigurable rule that includes a condition, receive the input signal, process the input signal using the reconfigurable rule, and provide an alert signal responsive to attainment of the condition. The stimulus circuitry is configured to receive the alert signal and provide a stimulus to the user. The signal processing circuitry is additionally configured to (i) receive the reconfigurable rule from a communication network, and/or (ii) generate a record indicative of the alert signal, store the record in a memory, and send the record to a communication network.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses to restore degraded speech via a modified diffusion model are described. An exemplary system is specially configured to train a diffusion-based vocoder containing an upsampler, based on pairing original speech x and degraded speech mel-spectrum mT samples; train a deep convoluted neural network (CNN) upsampler based on a mean absolute error loss to match the estimated original speech {circumflex over (x)}′ outputted by the diffusion-based vocoder by extracting the upsampler, generating a reference conditioner, and generating a weighted altered conditioner cTn′. The system further optimizes speech quality to invert non-linear transformation and estimate lost data by feeding the degraded mel-spectrum mT through the CNN upsampler and feeding the degraded mel-spectrum mT through the diffusion-based vocoder. The system then generates estimated original speech {circumflex over (x)}′ based on the corresponding degraded speech mel-spectrum mT. Other related embodiments are described.
