This study introduces an automated voice-based depression detection system using deep learning. The novel Multi-level Convolutional Transformer with attention learning (ML-CoT-AL) model enhances diagnostic accuracy for mental health care.

Area of Science:

  • Computational linguistics
  • Artificial intelligence in healthcare
  • Psychiatric diagnostics

Background:

  • Limited access to mental health care globally due to psychiatrist shortages and high diagnostic costs.
  • Approximately 60% of psychiatric patients lack access to necessary mental health services.
  • Need for precise and prompt automated systems for mental health assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated depression detection system using auditory signals (voice).
  • To integrate hierarchical higher-order spectral distribution with deep learning for improved depression identification.
  • To address the accessibility and cost barriers in current mental health diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Distress Analysis Interview Corpus, Wizard of Oz (DAIC-WOZ) dataset containing clinical interview audio recordings.

  • Extracted statistical, handmade, bispectral, and deep features.
  • Employed a Multi-level Convolutional Transformer with attention learning (ML-CoT-AL) model, integrating Convolutional Transformer (CoT), Channel and Element-wise Attention Module (CEAM), and Negotiator Modules (NM).
  • Applied the RIME optimization technique for hyperparameter tuning of the ML-CoT-AL model.

    • Main Results:

    • The ML-CoT-AL model, optimized with RIME, demonstrated improved accuracy in multi-level depression identification.
    • Integration of advanced deep learning architectures and attention mechanisms facilitated robust feature extraction.
    • The system effectively processed auditory signals for psychological distress detection.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed voice-based depression detection system offers a promising, accessible, and cost-effective solution.
    • Deep learning models, particularly the ML-CoT-AL, show significant potential in analyzing voice for mental health assessment.
    • Automated systems can augment traditional diagnostic methods, expanding mental health care access.
