Disentangling Acoustic Cues in Alzheimer's Pathology and Perception: The Roles of Language and Gender

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2607. 23977v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Acoustic biomarkers show promise for detecting Alzheimer's Disease (AD), yet whether the cues driving diagnostic AI align with those salient to human listeners is underexplored across languages and genders, where pathological markers and perceptual strategies differ.
