AI-Powered Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease

Using LLMs to analyze speech patterns for timely diagnosis

This research leverages large language models to detect linguistic markers of Alzheimer's Disease from patient-interviewer dialogues, creating a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

  • Employs fine-grained linguistic knowledge extraction to identify cognitive decline indicators
  • Utilizes innovative label-switched and label-preserved data generation techniques
  • Filters noisy, ambiguous data to focus on relevant cognitive markers
  • Offers potential for earlier, more accessible AD screening

Medical Impact: This approach could significantly transform early AD diagnosis by providing a low-cost, scalable screening method that identifies subtle language impairments before other symptoms become apparent, enabling earlier intervention.
