VoiceGRPO: Modern MoE Transformers with Group Relative Policy Optimization GRPO for AI Voice Health Care Applications on Voice Pathology Detection (2503.03797v1)

Abstract: This research introduces a novel AI techniques as Mixture-of-Experts Transformers with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) for voice health care applications on voice pathology detection. With the architectural innovations, we adopt advanced training paradigms inspired by reinforcement learning, namely Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Group-wise Regularized Policy Optimization (GRPO), to enhance model stability and performance. Experiments conducted on a synthetically generated voice pathology dataset demonstrate that our proposed models significantly improve diagnostic accuracy, F1 score, and ROC-AUC compared to conventional approaches. These findings underscore the potential of integrating transformer architectures with novel training strategies to advance automated voice pathology detection and ultimately contribute to more effective healthcare delivery. The code we used to train and evaluate our models is available at https://github.com/enkhtogtokh/voicegrpo
