Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Depression is a prevalent mental ailment that causes many diseases all over the world. Identification of people with mental illness faces a challenge, as there is no difference between mentally ill people and normal people in physiology, and clinicians can only make a subjective diagnosis according to the relevant information of patients. Hence, it has become imperative to develop automated methods for audiovisual depression prediction. In this study, we proposed an intra- and inter-modality transformer-based fusion model to improve the depression level prediction accuracy. We evaluate our approach on the Chinese Soochow University depressive severity dataset and demonstrate that our method outperforms the existing method.
