Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In recent years, research has been conducted to detect people with mild dementia from dialogue voices of the elderly. But these studies targeted elderly people living in specific regions, therefore when testing elderly people from different areas, dementia detection accuracy may be affected. Therefore, in this study we are not only clarifying which acoustic and linguistic information in Japanese speech is related with dementia, but we also want to improve the accuracy of early detection of dementia by taking into account differences in the regional dialects of elderly people from different areas.
