The Optimization of a Natural Language Processing Approach for the Automatic Detection of Alzheimer's Disease Using GPT Embeddings.

The development of noninvasive and cost-effective methods of detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) is essential for its early prevention and mitigation. We optimize the detection of AD using natural language processing (NLP) of spontaneous speech through the use of audio enhancement techniques and novel transcription methodologies. Specifically, we utilized Boll Spectral Subtraction to improve audio fidelity and created transcriptions using state-of-the-art AI services-locally-based Wav2Vec and Whisper, alongside cloud-based IBM Cloud and Rev AI-evaluating their performance against traditional manual transcription methods.

The Optimization of a Natural Language Processing Approach for the Automatic Detection of Alzheimer's Disease Using GPT Embeddings.

As the impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is projected to grow in the coming decades as the world's population ages, the development of noninvasive and cost-effective methods of detecting AD is essential for the early prevention and mitigation of the progressive disease, alleviating its expected global impact. This study analyzes audio processing techniques and transcription methodologies to optimize the detection of AD through the natural language processing (NLP) of spontaneous speech. We enhanced audio fidelity using Boll Spectral Subtraction and evaluated the transcription accuracy of state-of-the-art AI services-locally-based Wav2Vec and Whisper, alongside cloud-based IBM Cloud and Rev AI-against traditional manual transcription methods.
