As a neurological disability that affects muscles involved in articulation, dysarthria is a speech impairment that leads to reduced speech intelligibility. In severe cases, these individuals could also be handicapped and unable to interact with digital devices. For such individuals, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technologies could be life changing by enabling them to communicate with others as well as computing devices via voice commands. Nonetheless, ASR systems designed to recognize healthy speech have shown very poor performance to transcribe dysarthric speech, signaling the need to design ASR specifically tailored for dysarthria. Dysarthric Speech Recognition (DRS) research has progressed gradually because of the challenges the research community faces such as the scarcity of dysarthric speech that does not allow the researchers to design deeper acoustic models needed to better learn dysarthric speech variations. In this paper we report on our preliminary findings to improve our previous DSR called Speech Vision and study the effects of Separable Convolutional neurons to improve its acoustic model. Speech Vision is a novel Dysarthric Speech Recognition system that learns to recognize the shape of the words uttered by dysarthric speakers instead of recognizing phone sequences and then mapping them to words. Experiments conducted on the utterances provided by all UA-Speech dysarthric speakers indicate the proposed Depthwise separable architecture provided better word recognition accuracies compared to the original Speech Vision’s architecture across all dysarthric speech intelligibility classes.

Several newly developed techniques and tools for manipulating images, audio, and videos have been introduced as an outcome of the recent and rapid breakthroughs in AI, machine learning, and deep learning. While most applications for these techniques or tools are in the fields of entertainment and education, some individuals with unlawful intent have also been benefited from them. These individuals use such techniques for various purposes, including the spread of misleading information and unnecessary propaganda, the incitement of political instability, hate and unrest, as well as for purposes of torture and blackmail. These high-quality and convincing manipulated images, audio, or videos are commonly referred to as ‘Deepfakes’.Since then, various solutions to the problems raised by Deepfakes have been proposed in academic studies. This literature review contains relevant publications that offered a variety of approaches to give an updated summary of the research activities in different types of Deepfake attacks, their detection, and countermeasures. It also assesses the effectiveness of the detection capabilities of different techniques with various datasets and algorithms applied in Deepfake detection, while also outlining the various benefits and drawbacks of various methodologies.
