New AI framework enhances explainable depression recognition in clinical interviews

Researchers have developed Explain-MDRC, a novel framework for multimodal depression recognition in clinical interviews. This system aims to enhance interpretability by generating structured symptom summaries from text and integrating them with nonverbal cues. A new dataset, Explain-DAIC, was created using DAIC-WOZ data and PHQ-8 aligned annotations to facilitate the development of transparent AI models. The proposed PhqCML model within Explain-MDRC combines symptom summarization with contrastive learning and multimodal fusion, showing improved recognition performance and providing clinician-readable evidence.
