Language Models for Online Depression Detection: A Review and Benchmark Analysis on Remote Interviews

Le résumé fourni par la source

The use of machine learning (ML) to detect depression in online settings has emerged as an important health and wellness use case. In particular, the use of deep learning methods for depression detection from textual content posted on social media has garnered considerable attention. Conversely, there has been relatively limited evaluation of depression detection in clinical environments involving text generated from remote interviews. In this research, we review state-of-the-art feature-based ML, deep learning, and large language models for depression detection. We use a multidimensional analysis framework to benchmark various language models on a novel testbed comprising speech-to-text transcriptions of remote interviews. Our framework considers the impact of different transcription types and interview segments on depression detection performance. Finally, we summarize the key trends and takeaways from the review and benchmark evaluation and provide suggestions to guide the design of future detection methods.
