• Abstract: This study investigates the utility of speech signals for AI-based depression screening across varied interaction scenarios, including psychiatric interviews, chatbot conversations, and text readings. Participants include depressed patients recruited from the outpatient clinics of Peking University Sixth Hospital and control group members from the community, all diagnosed by psychiatrists following standardized diagnostic protocols. We extracted acoustic and deep speech features from each participant's segmented recordings. Classifications were made using neural networks or SVMs, with aggregated clip outcomes determining final assessments. Our analysis across interaction scenarios, speech processing techniques, and feature types confirms speech as a crucial marker for depression screening. Specifically, human-computer interaction matches clinical interview efficacy, surpassing reading tasks. Segment duration and quantity significantly affect model performance, with deep speech features substantially outperforming traditional acoustic features.

  Vision-Language Models (VLM) can support clinicians by analyzing medical images and engaging in natural language interactions. VLMs often exhibit "hallucinogenic" behavior, generating textual outputs not grounded in contextual multimodal information. We propose a new alignment algorithm that uses symbolic representations of clinical reasoning to ground VLMs in medical knowledge.

  Speech production is susceptible to influence and disruption by various neurodegenerative pathological speech disorders. These disorders lead to pathological speech characterized by abnormal speech patterns and imprecise articulation. Unlike neurotypical speakers, patients with speech pathologies or impairments are unable to access various virtual assistants such as Alexa, Siri, etc.

  Depression-diagnosis-oriented chat aims to guide patients in self-expression to collect key symptoms for depression detection. Recent work focuses on combining task-oriented dialogue and chitchat to simulate the interview-based depression diagnosis. No explicit framework has been explored to guide the dialogue, which results in some useless communications.

  The early identification of symptoms of memory disorders plays a significant role in ensuring the well-being of populations. The lack of standardized speech tests in clinical settings has led to a growing emphasis on developing automatic machine learning techniques for analyzing naturally spoken language. The work presents an approach related to feature selection, allowing for the automatic selection of the essential features required for diagnosis from the Geneva minimalistic acoustic parameter set and relative speech pauses.

  The study utilised a dataset of 39 video recordings, capturing extensive sessions where clinicians administered cognitive assessment tests. Despite the limited sample size and heterogeneous recording styles, the analysis successfully extracted path signatures as features from the recorded data. Results suggest that these features exhibit promising potential for predicting all cognitive tests scores of the entire session length.
