Abstract | Introduction: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a common dementia which affects linguistic function, memory, cognitive and visual spatial ability of the patients. Language is proved to have the relationship with AD, so the time that AD can be diagnosed in a doctor's office is coming. Methods: In this study, the Pitt datasets are used to detect AD which is balanced in gender and age. First bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (Bert) pretrained model is used to acquire the word vector. Then two channels are constructed in the feature extraction layer, which is, convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long and short time memory (LSTM) model to extract local features and global features respectively. The local features and global features are concatenated to generate feature vectors containing rich semantics, which are sent to softmax classifier for classification. Results: Finally, we obtain a best accuracy of 89.3% which is comparative compared to other studies. In the meanwhile, we do the comparative experiments with TextCNN and LSTM model respectively, the combined model manifests best and TextCNN takes the second place. Discussion: The performance illustrates the feasibility to predict AD effectively by using acoustic and linguistic datasets. |
