This system combines signals extracted by large language models with semantic embeddings from individual transcript turns. EmoTrack also incorporates a novel dataset, LongCounsel, which includes longitudinal data and supervision for repeated sessions, enabling better performance even with partial symptom disclosure across sessions.
