Researchers have developed a novel method to augment speech data for predicting cognitive decline, utilizing GPT-5 to generate synthetic oral monologues. This LLM-driven approach aims to address limitations in dataset size and class imbalance common in clinical speech analysis. Experiments on a Japanese corpus showed that semantically guided augmentation, prioritizing samples close to real patient data, significantly reduced prediction errors for low-score individuals while maintaining performance for others.
