LLM-Anchored Paralinguistic Enrichment for Alzheimer's Disease Detection

The paper introduces LLM-Anchored Paralinguistic Enrichment (LAPE), a method that enhances language model representations with speech-based paralinguistic cues such as pauses and word elongations. LAPE incorporates three innovations: prosodic event textualization, lexico-prosodic unitization and chunking, and text-anchored paralinguistic fusion using NormGate. Evaluations on the ADReSS and ADReSSo datasets show that LAPE achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance in detecting Alzheimer’s disease from speech.
