Parkinson's disease often shows up early in a person's voice. We extracted dysphonia measures from voice recordings and treated them as a large, complex tabular feature set.
We proposed the Vocal Tab Transformer, a transformer for tabular vocal features, which outperformed the previous state of the art - Gradient-Boosted Decision Trees - by at least 1% AUC with better precision and recall.
