• Abstract: Clinical videos in the context of Autism Spectrum Disorder are often long-form interactions between children and caregivers/clinical professionals, encompassing complex verbal and non-verbal behaviors. Objective analyses of these videos could provide clinicians and researchers with nuanced insights into the behavior of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Manually coding these videos is a time-consuming task and requires a high level of domain expertise. Hence, the ability to capture these interactions computationally can augment the manual effort and enable supporting the diagnostic procedure. In this work, we investigate the use of foundation models across three modalities: speech, video, and text, to analyse child-focused interaction sessions. We propose a unified methodology to combine multiple modalities by using large language models as reasoning agents. We evaluate their performance on two tasks with different information granularity: activity recognition and abnormal behavior detection. We find that the proposed multimodal pipeline provides robustness to modality-specific limitations and improves performance on the clinical video analysis compared to unimodal settings.

  Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a diverse collection of neurobiological conditions marked by challenges in social communication and interactions. Atypical behavior patterns in a long, untrimmed video can serve as biomarkers for children with ASD.

  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.

  We show that a vision-based problem behaviors recognition system can achieve high accuracy and outperform the previous methods by a large margin. We propose a two-branch multimodal deep learning framework by incorporating the "freely available" language description for each type of problem behavior. Experimental results demonstrate that incorporating additional language supervision can bring an obvious performance boost for the autism problem behaviors recognition task.

The data is pre-processed by detecting the target child in the video to reduce the impact of background noise. Motivated by the effectiveness of temporal convolutional models, we propose both light-weight and conventional models capable of extracting action features from video frames.
