SAND: The Challenge on Speech Analysis for Neurodegenerative Disease Assessment

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.16445v1 Announce Type: cross Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the exploration of noninvasive, objective biomarkers, such as speech signals, have encouraged the development of algorithms to the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Voice changes in subjects suffering from ALS typically manifest as progressive dysarthria, which is a prominent neurodegenerative symptom because it affects patients as the disease progresses.
