Researchers have developed new methods for detecting dementia using AI, focusing on both linguistic and acoustic features in speech. One study benchmarks NeoBERT for dementia detection in low-resource conversational Filipino and English, finding that bilingual fine-tuning significantly improves performance. Another approach proposes a multimodal deep learning framework that jointly processes speech and transcript information, using HuBERT for acoustic representations and BERT for linguistic ones, with an attention-based fusion mechanism and a mutual information objective to enhance accuracy.
