Hierarchical attention interpretation: an interpretable speech-level transformer for bi-modal depression detection

The paper presents a bi‑modal speech‑level transformer that eliminates segment‑level labeling and introduces a hierarchical attention interpretation method. By using gradient‑weighted attention maps from all attention layers, the model provides both speech‑level and sentence‑level explanations of depression detection. Experimental results show the transformer outperforms a segment‑level model (p=0.854 vs. 0.732, r=0.947 vs. 0.808, F1=0.897 vs. 0.768).

MERID: Multimodal Exploration via Recursive Self-Improvement Agents for Major Depression Analysis

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.
