Dementia, a prevalent neurodegenerative condition, is a major manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As the condition progresses from mild to severe, it significantly impairs the individual's ability to perform daily tasks…
A significant number of studies apply acoustic and linguistic characteristics of human speech as prominent markers of dementia and depression. However, studies on discriminating depression from dementia are rare. Co-morbid depression is…
The semantic image segmentation task consists of classifying each pixel of an image into an instance, where each instance corresponds to a class. This task is a part of the concept of scene understanding or better explaining the global…
Dementia is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes cognitive decline and affects more than 50 million people worldwide. Dementia is under-diagnosed by healthcare professionals - only one in four people who suffer from dementia are…
The content based image retrieval aims to find the similar images from a large scale dataset against a query image. Generally, the similarity between the representative features of the query image and dataset images is used to rank the…
The goal of this work is to bring semantics into the tasks of text recognition and retrieval in natural images. Although text recognition and retrieval have received a lot of attention in recent years, previous works have focused on…
Background: Dementia, particularly Alzheimer's Disease (AD), is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive decline. Early detection, especially at the Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) stage, is essential for timely…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to dementia, and early intervention can greatly benefit from analyzing linguistic abnormalities. In this work, we explore the potential of Large Language Models…
The ADReSS Challenge at INTERSPEECH 2020 defines a shared task through which different approaches to the automated recognition of Alzheimer's dementia based on spontaneous speech can be compared. ADReSS provides researchers with a benchmark…
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is crucial in facilitating preventive care and to delay further progression. Speech based automatic AD screening systems provide a non-intrusive and more scalable alternative to other clinical…
A number of life threatening neuro-degenerative disorders had degraded the quality of life for the older generation in particular. Dementia is one such symptom which may lead to a severe condition called Alzheimer's disease if not detected…
It is acknowledged that the most common cause of dementia worldwide is Alzheimer's disease (AD). This condition progresses in severity from mild to severe and interferes with people's everyday routines. Early diagnosis plays a critical role…
Alzheimer's Disease is a devastating neurological disorder that is increasingly affecting the elderly population. Early and accurate detection of Alzheimer's is crucial for providing effective treatment and support for patients and their…
State-of-the-art visual grounding models can achieve high detection accuracy, but they are not designed to distinguish between all objects versus only certain objects of interest. In natural language, in order to specify a particular object…
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…
We present a novel deep neural model for text detection in document images. For robust text detection in noisy scanned documents, the advantages of multi-task learning are adopted by adding an auxiliary task of text enhancement. Namely, our…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) stands as the predominant cause of dementia, characterized by a gradual decline in speech and language capabilities. Recent deep-learning advancements have facilitated automated AD detection through spontaneous…
Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain disease. Being the primary cause of Dementia in adults and progressively destroys brain memory. Though Alzheimer's disease does not have a cure currently, diagnosing it at an earlier stage will…
Dementia, a neurodegenerative disease, alters speech patterns, creating communication barriers and raising privacy concerns. Current speech technologies, such as automatic speech transcription (ASR), struggle with dementia and atypical…
In this work, we focus on the detection of depression through speech analysis. Previous research has widely explored features extracted from pre-trained models (PTMs) primarily trained for paralinguistic tasks. Although these features have…
