BenSparX introduces the first Bengali conversational speech dataset for Parkinson’s disease detection and pairs it with a robust, explainable machine learning framework. The framework uses diverse acoustic features, systematic feature selection, and advanced classifiers, achieving 95.67% accuracy, 95.62% F1, and 0.990 AUC. SHAP analysis is employed to explain feature contributions, and the model outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods on other language datasets.

The paper evaluates pre‑trained speech embeddings from four state‑of‑the‑art speech foundation models for cross‑lingual Parkinson's disease severity assessment. Experiments span three datasets in zero‑shot and k‑shot settings, showing that these embeddings can transfer meaningfully across languages, though performance varies with dataset characteristics, preprocessing, and adaptation strategy. Misclassifications linked to inter‑speaker variability and atypical speech patterns underscore the need for more robust feature extraction, modeling, and explainability to support reliable clinical insights.
