arXiv:2501. 16106v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal depression recognition for clinical interviews (MDRC) have demonstrated the potential of AI systems by integrating textual, acoustic, and facial cues.
The paper introduces Evidence-Bounded Mental Health Reasoning, addressing the problem that current multimodal mental health screening models treat all clinical speech protocols as equally evidential. It presents the Evidence Package Benchmark, comprising 1,870 annotated packages from six diverse protocols, and proposes EviBound, a protocol-aware framework that limits reasoning to valid evidence using a planner, acoustic consensus, and a boundary critic. EviBound outperforms existing omni-modal baselines, achieving a Depression AUROC of 0.8658 with no claim violations.
MERID is a framework that uses recursive self‑improvement agents to autonomously develop multimodal pipelines for detecting major depressive disorder. It aligns multimodal records with depression targets, jointly modifies representations, fusion, and predictors, and guides revisions through evidence‑guided evolution to validate improvements before inheritance. Experiments on depression benchmarks show MERID outperforms existing multimodal and agent‑based baselines, especially highlighting the importance of acoustic and linguistic cues.
