Early Alzheimer’s Detection from Short Speech Samples Using Lightweight, Interpretable Linguistic Markers
Introduction Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains a critical frontier in neurology. Researchers are increasingly turning to linguistics and natural language processing to identify subtle changes in speech that precede more obvious cognitive decline. This article reviews how short speech samples can be leveraged to detect AD risk using lightweight, interpretable linguistic markers. The…
