Language-Based Automatic Assessment of Cognitive and Communicative Functions Related to Parkinson's Disease
We explore the use of natural language processing and machine learning for detecting evidence of Parkinson{'}s disease from transcribed speech of subjects who are describing everyday tasks. Experiments reveal the difficulty of treating this as a binary classification task, and a multi-class approach yields superior results. We also show that these models can be used to predict cognitive abilities across all subjects.

Discourse and conversation impairments in patients with dementia
Neurodegeneration characterizes individuals with different dementia subtypes (e.g., individuals with Alzheimer's Disease, Primary Progressive Aphasia, and Parkinson's Disease), leading to progressive decline in cognitive…
PrognosisAmerican Sign Language Handshapes Reflect Pressures for Communicative Efficiency
Communicative efficiency is a key topic in linguistics and cognitive psychology, with many studies demonstrating how the pressure to communicate with minimal effort guides the form of natural language. However, this phen…
