Abstract

Progressive loss of memory is the most known symptom of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD); however, it also affects other cognitive skills and leads to depression symptoms. This paper presents a transfer learning strategy for automatically detecting AD and depression in AD patients using acoustic information and ForestNet, an artificial neural network that allows computing the contribution of a set of features to a model’s decision. The methodology consists of training ForestNet with a dataset commonly used for emotion recognition; then, we fine-tune the pre-trained model to detect AD and depression in AD. We trained the models with several acoustic features commonly used for emotion and AD applications. Unweighted average recalls of up to 0.87 were achieved to classify the disease and up to 0.82 to detect depression in AD. Our results indicate that the information obtained from the Arousal Valence plane may be suitable for discriminating and analyzing depression in AD.
