Natural Language Processing differentiates between Italian individuals with Nonfluent/Agrammatic from Logopenic variants of PPA

We implemented natural language processing to perform a machine-learning classification based on connected speech samples of Italian-speaking subjects. This approach has been applied for the first time to Italian PPA and demonstrated that key linguistic markers can be identified and compared across the two variants.

Abstract

We implemented natural language processing to perform a machine-learning classification based on connected speech samples of Italian-speaking subjects. This approach has been applied for the first time to Italian PPA and demonstrated that key linguistic markers can be identified and compared across the two variants.
