摘要
Abstract—Automatic detection of pathological voice can provide objective assistance for laryngeal disease screening, treatment follow-up, and telemedicine. Traditional methods typically rely on handcrafted acoustic features such as fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, harmonic-to-noise ratio, and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, and their performance is susceptible to feature selection, recording conditions, and pathology variations. Deep learning can learn discriminative features directly from raw waveforms or time-frequency representations, but its internal decision process lacks clear interpretability. To address this issue, this paper proposes Four-Branch Wavelet Attention Network (FWANet). Parallel branches are constructed using db16, sym8, coif8, and rbio3.1 wavelets. Each branch alternates six stages of one-level discrete wavelet transform and one-dimensional convolution, while frequency-channel attention is applied in the last five stages to adaptively recalibrate low- and high-frequency features. After temporal alignment and sample-level branch weighting, a Cross-Wavelet Temporal Feature Fusion (CTFF) module integrates local temporal variation and cross-wavelet channel information. FWANet achieves accuracies of 0.9800, 0.7734, and 0.8545 on the MEEI, SVD, and HUPA databases, respectively, with MCC values of 0.9522, 0.5024, and 0.7153. Ablation results show that CTFF consistently improves Accuracy and MCC over the corresponding four-branch variant without CTFF. Branch weights and layer-wise frequency-channel attention further provide hierarchical interpretability.
