New AI framework enhances explainable depression recognition in clinical interviews

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

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. AI

IMPACT This research offers a more transparent and interpretable AI approach for clinical depression recognition, potentially aiding clinicians in diagnosis and review.

    Explainable Multimodal Depression Recognition in Clinical Interviews via PHQ-Aligned Symptom Summarization

    arXiv:2501.16106v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal depression recognition for clinical interviews (MDRC) have demonstrated the potential of AI systems by integrating textual, acoustic, and facial cues. However, existing methods pay limited attention…
