Dementia is a progressive neurological disorder that profoundly affects the daily lives of older adults, impairing abilities such as verbal communication and cognitive function. Early diagnosis is essential for enhancing both lifespan and…
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…
Recent progress has been made in detecting early stage dementia entirely through recordings of patient speech. Multimodal speech analysis methods were applied to the PROCESS challenge, which requires participants to use audio recordings of…
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.…
Over half of US adults with Alzheimer disease and related dementias remain undiagnosed, and speech-based screening offers a scalable detection approach. We compared large language model adaptation strategies for dementia detection using the…
Dementia affects cognitive functions of adults, including memory, language, and behaviour. Standard diagnostic biomarkers such as MRI are costly, whilst neuropsychological tests suffer from sensitivity issues in detecting dementia onset.…
Individual's general well-being is greatly impacted by mental health conditions including depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), underscoring the importance of early detection and precise diagnosis in order to facilitate…
Reliable detection of the prodromal stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains difficult even today because, unlike other neurocognitive impairments, there is no definitive diagnosis of AD in vivo. In this context, existing research has…
Dementia is a growing problem as our society ages, and detection methods are often invasive and expensive. Recent deep-learning techniques can offer a faster diagnosis and have shown promising results. However, they require large amounts of…
Dementia is a neurodegenerative disease that causes gradual cognitive impairment, which is very common in the world and undergoes a lot of research every year to prevent and cure it. It severely impacts the patient's ability to remember…
The increasing global prevalence of mental disorders, such as depression and PTSD, requires objective and scalable diagnostic tools. Traditional clinical assessments often face limitations in accessibility, objectivity, and consistency.…
While multimodal data integrating diverse imaging and clinical tabular records is crucial for accurate medical diagnosis, the arbitrary absence of specific modalities is prevalent in clinical practice, severely degrading the performance of…
The rapid global aging trend has led to an increase in dementia cases, including Alzheimer's disease, underscoring the urgent need for early and accurate diagnostic methods. Traditional diagnostic techniques, such as cognitive tests,…
Generally, the decoder-only large language models (LLMs) are adapted to context-aware neural machine translation (NMT) in a concatenating way, where LLMs take the concatenation of the source sentence (i.e., intra-sentence context) and the…
Introduction: Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia in which early diagnosis plays a major rule in the quality of treatment. Among new works in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, there are many of them analyzing the voice stream…
Early detection of Alzheimer's Dementia (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is critical for timely intervention, yet current diagnostic approaches remain resource-intensive and invasive. Speech, encompassing both acoustic and…
Dementia is a group of irreversible, chronic, and progressive neurodegenerative disorders resulting in impaired memory, communication, and thought processes. In recent years, clinical research advances in brain aging have focused on the…
Diagnosing dementia, particularly for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), is complex due to overlapping symptoms. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) data are critical for…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder, meaning that the symptoms develop gradually throughout the years. It is also the main cause of dementia, which affects memory, thinking skills, and mental abilities. Nowadays,…
In this study, we focus on automated approaches to detect depression from clinical interviews using multi-modal machine learning (ML). Our approach differentiates from other successful ML methods such as context-aware analysis through…
