LLMs show promise for Alzheimer's detection from text

Researchers have explored the potential of large language models (LLMs) for detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) from text, particularly in scenarios with limited labeled data. They fine-tuned models like BERT, T5, and Llama-1B on various transcript corpora, achieving new state-of-the-art results on some datasets. The study also analyzed how AD-related information is encoded within the models' internal representations using linear probing, showing that fine-tuning shifts token representations to reflect AD signals.

    What Do LLMs Know About Alzheimer's Disease? Multi-loss Fine-Tuning and Probing for AD Detection

    arXiv:2602.11177v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliable early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is challenging, particularly due to the limited availability of labeled data. While large language models (LLMs) have shown strong transfer capabilities across do mains,…
