Building on the success of the ADReSS Challenge at Interspeech 2020, which attracted the participation of 34 teams from across the world, the ADReSSo Challenge targets three difficult automatic prediction problems of societal and medical…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia, affecting memory, reasoning, communication, and daily functioning. Early diagnosis is particularly important, as timely intervention may…
Alzheimer's dementia (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with cognitive decline that commonly impacts language ability. This work extends the paired perplexity approach to detecting AD by using a recent large language model (LLM), the…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become one of the most significant health challenges in an aging society. The use of spoken language-based AD detection methods has gained prevalence due to their scalability due to their scalability. Based on…
This paper is a submission to the Alzheimer's Dementia Recognition through Spontaneous Speech (ADReSS) challenge, which aims to develop methods that can assist in the automated prediction of severity of Alzheimer's Disease from speech data.…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a significant and growing public health concern. Investigating alterations in speech and language patterns offers a promising path towards cost-effective and non-invasive early detection of AD on a large scale.…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects nearly 50 million individuals across the globe and is one of the leading causes of deaths globally. It is projected that by 2050, the number of people affected by the…
Robust strategies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection are important, given the high prevalence of AD. In this paper, we study the performance and generalizability of three approaches for AD detection from speech on the recent ADReSSo…
Compared to other clinical screening techniques, speech-and-language-based automated Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection methods are characterized by their non-invasiveness, cost-effectiveness, and convenience. Previous studies have…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the world's leading neurodegenerative disease, which often results in communication difficulties. Analysing speech can serve as a diagnostic tool for identifying the condition. The recent ADReSS challenge…
Cognitive decline is a sign of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and there is evidence that tracking a person's eye movement, using eye tracking devices, can be used for the automatic identification of early signs of cognitive decline. However,…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) constitutes a complex neurocognitive disease and is the main cause of dementia. Although many studies have been proposed targeting at diagnosing dementia through spontaneous speech, there are still limitations.…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common form of dementia that severely impacts patient health. As AD impairs the patient's language understanding and expression ability, the speech of AD patients can serve as an indicator of this disease. This…
Alzheimer's disease is a common cognitive disorder in the elderly. Early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a major impact on the progress of research on dementia. At present, researchers have used machine learning…
Recent breakthroughs in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) have enabled fully automated Alzheimer's Disease (AD) detection using ASR transcripts. Nonetheless, the impact of ASR errors on AD detection remains poorly understood. This paper…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to irreversible cognitive decline in memory and communication. Early detection of AD through speech analysis is crucial for delaying disease progression.…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible brain disease that can dramatically reduce quality of life, most commonly manifesting in older adults and eventually leading to the need for full-time care. Early detection is fundamental to…
