## Limitations |
|
|
|
The models presented here were trained with the basic inventory of English phonemes found in CMUDict. However, a more fine-grained phonetic analysis would require a pronunciation dictionary with more narrowly defined entries. Additionally, while this paper focused on models trained with English-only resources (pre-trained BART-BASE, English Wikipedia text, CMUDict, and the English AphasiaBank), the techniques should be applicable to non-English language models as well. Finally, from a clinical standpoint, the model we describe in this paper assumes the existence of transcribed input (from either a manual or automated source, discussed in detail in §2.1 of the paper; in its current form, this represents a limitation to its clinical implementation, though not to its use in research settings with archival or newly-transcribed datasets. |

|
## Ethics Statement |
|
|
|
Our use of the AphasiaBank data was governed by the TalkBank consortium's data use agreement, and the underlying recordings were collected and shared with approval of the contributing sites' institutional review boards. |
|
Limitations exist regarding accents and dialect, which in turn would affect the scenarios in which a system based on our model could (and should) be used. |
|
It should also be noted that these models and any derived technology are not meant to be tools to diagnose medical conditions, a task best left to qualified clinicians. |
