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访问的DementiaBank数据库， 多媒体互动，用于研究老年人的认知交流障碍， 阿尔茨海默氏病及相关痴呆症。这项工作将依赖于数据收集方面的进展， 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， 关于语言的诊断、分类和纵向跟踪的关键问题， 痴呆这项工作的总体目标是支持认知语言结果的发展 改善早期诊断的评估和有效性的措施和治疗， 识别那些有痴呆症风险的人。为了实现这一目标，我们必须巩固数据分析方法， 机器学习训练，协同评论，自动语音识别，算法 评价基准。我们还将注重扩大传播方法，以确保 DementiaBank的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.
