One-Liner
analyzed spontaneous speech transcripts (only!) from TD and AD patients with fastText and CNN; best was \(83.33\%\) acc.
Novelty
- threw the NLP kitchen sink to transcripts
- fastText
- CNN (with vary n-gram kernel 2,3,4,5 sizes)
Notable Methods
- embeddings seaded by GloVe
- fastText are much faster, but CNN won out
Key Figs
the qual results

Big Picture

OS:
- creates new process
- sets up address space/segments
- read the executable, load instructions, global data
- libraries gets loaded
Complier:
- set up stack
Heap Allocator: “Sandbox of bytes”
- initialize the heap
heap allocation: client
void *malloc(size_t size);
Returns a pointer to a block of heap memory of at least size bytes, or NULL if an error occurred.
void free(void *ptr);
Frees the heap-allocated block starting at the specific address.
