How Is AI Being Used Across Communication Disorders? A Review of the Research
Date:
The present study has two primary aims. First, we aim to provide a comprehensive map of AI research across five major areas of communication disorders—language disorders, motor speech disorders, fluency disorders, swallowing disorders, and voice disorders—by increasing the mutual visibility of work published in computer science and non-computer science venues, thereby facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration. Second, using network science measures, we aim to identify publications that are densely connected to many other studies within each disorder area, which may serve as effective entry points for clinicians, researchers, and educators seeking to engage with AI applications in communication disorders.
