Linguistic Features Extracted by GPT-4 Improve Alzheimer’s Disease Detection based on Spontaneous Speech

COLING 2025main

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a significant and growing public health concern. Investigating alterations in speech and language patterns offers a promising path towards cost-effective and non-invasive early detection of AD on a large scale. Large language models (LLMs), such as GPT, have enabled power…

Robust Native Language Identification through Agentic Decomposition

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) often achieve high performance in native language identification (NLI) benchmarks by leveraging superficial contextual clues such as names, locations, and cultural stereotypes, rather than the underlying linguistic patterns indicative of native language (L1) influence. T

Improving Adversarial Data Collection by Supporting Annotators: Lessons from GAHD, a German Hate Speech Dataset

NAACL 2024long

Hate speech detection models are only as good as the data they are trained on. Datasets sourced from social media suffer from systematic gaps and biases, leading to unreliable models with simplistic decision boundaries. Adversarial datasets, collected by exploiting model weaknesses, promise to fix t…

NeuroTrialNER: An Annotated Corpus for Neurological Diseases and Therapies in Clinical Trial Registries

EMNLP 2024main

Extracting and aggregating information from clinical trial registries could provide invaluable insights into the drug development landscape and advance the treatment of neurologic diseases. However, achieving this at scale is hampered by the volume of available data and the lack of an annotated corp…

The Influence of Automatic Speech Recognition on Linguistic Features and Automatic Alzheimer’s Disease Detection from Spontaneous Speech

COLING 2024main

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) represents a major problem for society and a heavy burden for those affected. The study of changes in speech offers a potential means for large-scale AD screening that is non-invasive and inexpensive. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is necessary for a fully automated syst…
