AI depression detection benchmarks audited, revealing evaluation flaws

Researchers have conducted a comprehensive audit of benchmarks used for detecting depression from clinical interviews. Their analysis revealed significant discrepancies between different evaluation protocols, including cross-validation and official test splits, with top-ranked models often performing poorly when transferred to external datasets. The study also found that text-based models showed a notable increase in performance on symptom-dense interview segments compared to audio-based models. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential unreliability in AI models for mental health assessment, urging caution in deployment.

    A Multi-Probe Audit of Clinical-Interview Depression Detection Benchmarks

    arXiv:2605.23977v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper audits benchmark evaluation in clinical-interview depression detection through four complementary probes across DAIC/E-DAIC, CMDC, ANDROIDS, MODMA, and PDCH. First, we re-evaluate E-DAIC under strict subject-disjoint leav…
