Department of Medical Informatics and Artificial Intelligence

Members of the ForSpeech team had the opportunity to present the results of their research at the 11th International Conference on Information Technology in Biomedicine (ITIB 2026). The presented studies focused on the application of artificial intelligence methods, speech signal analysis, and modern computer-based tools supporting medical diagnostics.

As part of sessions dedicated to voice and speech analysis as well as advances in biomechanics, the following papers were presented:

• Oliwia Skórzewska*, Zuzanna Miodońska: Relative Spectral and Frication-Based Descriptors as Numerical Indicators of Place of Articulation Shifts in Fricatives Produced by Polish Children
• Wojciech Pieniążek, Maria Filipek*, Oliwia Skórzewska, Zuzanna Miodońska: Sigmatism Detection from Child Speech Spectrograms Using Convolutional Autoencoders and Support Vector Machines
• Jakub Kosman*, Aleksandra Badura, Oliwia Skórzewska, Zuzanna Miodońska, Michał Simlot, Alicja Dworak-Marczenko, Wirginia Likus, Jarosław Markowski, Michał Kręcichwost: Voice Pathology Detection Based on Acoustic Signal Analysis Using ML Models
• Katarzyna Mazur*, Oliwia Skórzewska, Zuzanna Miodońska, Barbara Mika, Miłosz Dudek, Daria Hemmerling, Michał Simlot, Alicja Dworak-Marczenko, Wirginia Likus, Jarosław Markowski, Michał Kręcichwost: Histopathology-Verified Clinical Voice Database – Pilot Acoustic Analysis of Sustained /a/
• Marta Polewka*, Dawid Danecki, Davide Rzeszowski, Wiktoria Mazur, Sebastian Zowada, Zuzanna Miodońska, Andrzej Myśliwiec, Krzysztof Dowgierd, Anna Lipowicz, Michał Kręcichwost: Rigid-Body Transformation for Head Motion Compensation in Facial Expression Tracking Using ArUco Markers – Pilot Study
