• Abstract: Building on the success of the ADReSS Challenge at Interspeech 2020, which attracted the participation of 34 teams from across the world, the ADReSSo Challenge targets three difficult automatic prediction problems of societal and medical relevance, namely: detection of Alzheimer's Dementia, inference of cognitive testing scores, and prediction of cognitive decline. This paper presents these prediction tasks in detail, describes the datasets used, and reports the results of the baseline classification and regression models we developed for each task. A combination of acoustic and linguistic features extracted directly from audio recordings, without human intervention, yielded a baseline accuracy of 78.87% for the AD classification task, an MMSE prediction root mean squared (RMSE) error of 5.28, and 68.75% accuracy for the cognitive decline prediction task.

This task aims to investigate which acoustic features can be generalized and transferred across languages for Alzheimer's Disease prediction. We extract paralinguistic features using openSmile toolkit and acoustic features using XLSR-53. Our method achieves an accuracy of 69.6% on the classification task and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 4.788 on the regression task.
