• Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder, meaning that the symptoms develop gradually throughout the years. It is also the main cause of dementia, which affects memory, thinking skills, and mental abilities. Nowadays, researchers have moved their interest towards AD detection from spontaneous speech, since it constitutes a time-effective procedure. However, existing state-of-the-art works proposing multimodal approaches do not take into consideration the inter- and intra-modal interactions and propose early and late fusion approaches. To tackle these limitations, we propose deep neural networks, which can be trained in an end-to-end trainable way and capture the inter- and intra-modal interactions. Firstly, each audio file is converted to an image consisting of three channels, i.e., log-Mel spectrogram, delta, and delta-delta. Next, each transcript is passed through a BERT model followed by a gated self-attention layer. Similarly, each image is passed through a Swin Transformer followed by an independent gated self-attention layer. Acoustic features are extracted also from each audio file. Finally, the representation vectors from the different modalities are fed to a tensor fusion layer for capturing the inter-modal interactions. Extensive experiments conducted on the ADReSS Challenge dataset indicate that our introduced approaches obtain valuable advantages over existing research initiatives reaching Accuracy and F1-score up to 86.25% and 85.48% respectively.

  Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent and debilitating neurodegenerative disorder impacting a large aging population. We propose an efficient early-late fusion (ELF) approach, which leverages a convolutional neural network for automated feature extraction and random forests. To tackle the challenge of detecting subtle changes in brain volume, we transform images into the Jacobian domain (JD)

  We introduce a general Inter- and Intra-modal Mutual Distillation (I$2$MD) framework. In I$2$MD, we first re-formulate the cross-modal interaction as a Cross-modal Mutual Distillation (CMD) process. To alleviate the interference of similar samples and exploit their underlying contexts, we further design the Intra-modal Mutual Distillation (IMD) strategy.

We also introduce intertemporal graph neural network (iGNN) blocks, which split the message passing according to the main sources of context in the ASD problem. Experiments show that the aggregated features from the iGNN blocks are more suitable for ASD, resulting in state-of-the art performance.

  Current deep learning approaches for multimodal fusion rely on bottom-up fusion of high and mid-level latent modality representations. Models of human perception highlight the importance of top-down fusion, where high-level representations affect the way sensory inputs are perceived. We propose a neural architecture that captures top-down cross-modal interactions, using a feedback mechanism in the forward pass during network training.
