| Challenge: | Language disturbances can be a diagnostic marker for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, at earlier stages. |
| Approach: | They develop a corpus of audio recordings of the Cookie-theft, a standardized test that has been used in studies in the past. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus is based on audio recordings of the Cookie-theft . it provides a rich resource for future research and experimentation in many areas . |

| Challenge: | Existing work on speech and language models has been limited by the size of available datasets. |
| Approach: | They propose to augment a small French dataset with a much larger English dataset to augment the language model to model the order in which information units are produced by dementia patients and controls. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves classification performance in English and French separately. |
