DementiaBank: An open access language database to understand the progression of dementia

摘要 我们建议扩大和发展开放获取的DementiaBank数据库 多媒体交互作用在老年和老年认知沟通障碍研究中的应用 阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症。这项工作将依赖于数据收集方面的进步， 在整个TalkBank的背景下实现转录、分析、共享和网络交付 项目。我们将部署和扩展TalkBank和DementiaBank不断增长的资产来回答 关于语言的诊断、分类和纵向跟踪的关键问题 痴呆症。这项工作的总体目标是支持认知-语言结果的发展 将改善早期诊断的评估和有效性的措施和治疗，并 确定那些有患痴呆症风险的人。为了实现这一目标，我们必须巩固数据分析方法和 机器学习培训、协作评论、自动语音识别和算法 评价基准。我们还将重点扩大传播方式，以确保 DementiaBank工具和资源正在满足研究人员和临床医生的需求。

Abstract We propose the expansion and development of the open-access DementiaBank database of multimedia interactions for the study of cognitive-communication impairments in aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. This work will rely on advances in data collection, transcription, analysis, sharing, and web delivery achieved in the context of the overall TalkBank Project. We will deploy and extend the growing assets of TalkBank and DementiaBank to answer critical questions regarding the diagnosis, classification, and longitudinal tracking of language in dementia. The overall goal of this work is to support the development of cognitive-linguistic outcome measures and treatments that will improve the evaluation and effectiveness of early diagnosis, and to identify those at risk for dementia. To reach that goal, we must solidify methods for data analysis and machine learning training, Collaborative Commentary, automatic speech recognition, and algorithm evaluation benchmarks. We will also focus on the expansion of dissemination methods to ensure the DementiaBank tools and resources are meeting the needs of researchers and clinicians.
