| 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. |
