Implication

Comparative acoustic analysis reveals distinct vowel clustering patterns in children with cochlear implants, highlighting the clinical utility of multi-feature speech models.

Key Points

To evaluate the acoustic properties of Mandarin vowel production in children with cochlear implants relative to normal-hearing peers using a multi-view feature fusion framework.
Extracted formant features, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), and linear predictive coding coefficients (LPCCs) from speech recordings of Mandarin vowels.
Performed individual k-means clustering on separate feature sets alongside multi-view clustering on the combined, fused acoustic features to assess articulation patterns.
Children with cochlear implants formed distinct vowel clusters in the formant space, though their acoustic clusters exhibited lower compactness than those of normal-hearing controls.
MFCC and LPCC feature distributions demonstrated significant acoustic divergence between children with cochlear implants and normal-hearing peers.
The multi-view fusion model attained superior clustering performance compared to any individual acoustic feature set evaluated alone.
