New Factorized Inverse Decision Model Enhances Cognitive Screening

Researchers have developed a Factorized Inverse Decision Model (FIDM) that analyzes verbalized cognitive tasks by decomposing task-execution likelihood into action and effort factors. This model uses a language model to generate structured task-execution traces from raw verbal transcripts, allowing for more nuanced inference than action-trajectory-only methods. When applied to a grocery-shopping dialog task involving 400 older adults for cognitive screening, FIDM demonstrated the ability to selectively estimate these factors and provided information complementary to existing clinical scores and language representations, showing consistent gains in binary classification.

    Reading Cognition as Decisions Unfold in Words: A Factorized Inverse Decision Model

    Inverse decision modeling infers latent properties of decision processes from observed behavior, but existing formulations rely primarily on action trajectories. In verbalized cognitive tasks, task execution also produces response dynamics that action-only formulations leave unmo…
