From ASR-transcribed sentences, we extract sentence similarity measures, including WER and Levenshtein distance, and use them as the input features in a regression model to predict the reference scores manually rated by experts. Our experimental analysis on subject-level scores of 46 children, 33 diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and 13 with specific language impairment (SLI) show that proposed approach is successful in prediction of scores with averaged product-moment correlations of 0.84 between observed and predicted ratings across test folds.</p>","PeriodicalId":93146,"journal":{"name":"Text, speech and dialogue.
