  abstract  = {We investigate if writers with dementia can be automatically distinguished from
	those without by analyzing linguistic markers in written text, in the form of
	blog posts. We have built a corpus of several thousand blog posts, some by
	people with dementia and others by people with loved ones with dementia. We use
	this dataset to train and test several machine learning methods, and achieve
	prediction performance at a level far above the baseline.},
