AI and automated speech analytics for objective assessment of social competency
Social competency - or possessing emotional, cognitive, and behavioral skills for functional engagement with others - is reduced in people with communication disorders. This webinar will introduce an AI approach for objectively analyzing conversational speech to assess a person's competency for social engagement. Data from various neurological conditions will be reviewed and a vision for application to aphasia will be offered.
