Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cognitive assessment plays a pivotal role in the early detection of cognitive impairment, particularly in the prevention and management of cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer's and Lewy body dementia. Large-scale screening relies heavily on cognitive assessment scales as primary tools, with some low sensitivity and others expensive. Despite significant progress in machine learning for cognitive function assessment, its application in this particular screening domain remains underexplored, often requiring labor-intensive expert annotations.
