Model interpretability has become important to engenders appropriate user trust by providing the insight into the model prediction. However, most of the existing machine learning methods provide no interpretability for depression…
We present our preliminary work to determine if patient's vocal acoustic, linguistic, and facial patterns could predict clinical ratings of depression severity, namely Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale (PHQ-8). We proposed a…
Automatic depression detection on Twitter can help individuals privately and conveniently understand their mental health status in the early stages before seeing mental health professionals. Most existing black-box-like deep learning…
Mental health and general wellness are becoming a growing concern in our society. Environmental factors contribute to mental illness and have the power to affect a person's wellness. This work presents a smartphone-based wellness assessment…
Automatic depression detection has attracted increasing amount of attention but remains a challenging task. Psychological research suggests that depressive mood is closely related with emotion expression and perception, which motivates the…
We present the development and evaluation of a hand tracking algorithm based on single depth images captured from an overhead perspective for use in the COACH prompting system. We train a random decision forest body part classifier using…
Subjective well-being is a cornerstone of individual and societal health, yet its scientific measurement has traditionally relied on self-report methods prone to recall bias and high participant burden. This has left a gap in our…
Background: Depression is a major public health concern, affecting an estimated five percent of the global population. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to initiate effective treatment, yet recognition remains challenging in many…
Social media has recently emerged as a premier method to disseminate information online. Through these online networks, tens of millions of individuals communicate their thoughts, personal experiences, and social ideals. We therefore…
