LLM-Anchored Paralinguistic Enrichment for Alzheimer's Disease Detection

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

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.

Multilingual Detection of Alzheimer's Disease from Speech: A Cross-Linguistic Transfer Learning Approach

The development of multilingual Alzheimer's Disease Dementia (AD) detection models presents significant challenges due to the resource-intensive and time-consuming nature of language-specific model training. We propose a novel solution using cross-language training to detect AD in languages beyond those used for model training.
