Abstract(in English) Depressive symptoms are a massive problem in this stressful modern society. Early screening of depressive symptoms helps to reduce the number and intensity of their depressive episodes. Automatic detection of depressive symptoms from audio cues has gained increasing interest in recent years. Transformer-based neural networks represent a successful self-attention mechanism that achieves state-of-the-art results in language understanding and sequence modeling. However, their application to visual data and, in particular, to the depressive severity detection task has not yet been deeply investigated. In this paper, we propose a transformer-based architecture for the depressive task. The temporal feature analysis using transformer computed after the feature extraction performed by DensNet. Our experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve CCC of 0.34 when using the validation set and 0.24 when using the test set, significantly outperforming the baseline method score CCC of 0.165.
