Resumo


Failure to express yourself verbally is a condition that affects nearly 7% of children worldwide, known as specific language impairment. The diagnosis is complex, involving specialists such as speech therapists and pediatricians. The dataset used in this work has many attributes and imbalanced data, which can harm knowledge discovery. We used biclustering to identify clusters that characterize children with speech problems and those with typical development. We propose selecting attributes through the significance analysis of biclusters, which enhanced the F-score and accuracy in models generated by using 90% of instances from the training dataset, compared to results from the original data.
