AI model detects Alzheimer's using speech analysis with 90% accuracy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel Multi-View Gated Graph Attention Network designed to detect Alzheimer's Disease (AD) using spontaneous speech. This model constructs semantic, dependency, and co-occurrence graphs from transcribed audio, analyzing speech through a "content-structure-flow" framework. A key innovation is the use of Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI) within the co-occurrence graph to assess narrative logic and linguistic deviations. The network also features an adaptive gated fusion mechanism to dynamically integrate these different data views, addressing the clinical heterogeneity of AD. Tested on the ADReSSo dataset, the model achieved a 90.00% accuracy rate, with ablation studies highlighting the importance of the PMI-based graph and the gating mechanism for robust classification across diverse patient populations. AI
