Researchers have developed a novel multimodal framework for detecting depression using deep learning, integrating acoustic and textual data. The model employs bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks with attention mechanisms and segment-level fusion. To improve generalization and reduce speaker-specific bias, the framework incorporates domain generalization techniques, specifically a gradient reversal layer inspired by Domain-Adversarial Training of Neural Networks (DANN). Experiments on the Androids-Corpus dataset demonstrated that this approach, using MelSpec and ItalianBERT as feature extractors, achieved state-of-the-art results with 93.2% accuracy and a 3.3% increase in F1-score compared to previous benchmarks.
