Title
Multimodal depression recognition with dynamic visual and audio cues
Abstract
In this paper, we present our system design for audio visual multi-modal depression recognition. To improve the estimation accuracy of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score, besides the Low Level Descriptors (LLD) features and the Local Gabor Binary Pattern-Three Orthogonal Planes (LGBP-TOP) features provided by the 2014 Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge and Workshop (AVEC2014), we extract extra features to capture key behavioural changes associated with depression. From audio we extract the speaking rate, and from video, the head pose features, the Space-Temporal Interesting Point (STIP) features, and local kinematic features via the Divergence-Curl-Shear descriptors. These features describe body movements, and spatio-temporal changes within the image sequence. We also consider global dynamic features, obtained using motion history histogram (MHH), bag of words (BOW) features and vector of local aggregated descriptors (VLAD). To capture the complementary information within the used features, we evaluate two fusion systems ¿ the feature fusion scheme, and the model fusion scheme via local linear regression (LLR). Experiments are carried out on the training set and development set of the Depression Recognition Sub-Challenge (DSC) of AVEC2014, we obtain root mean square error (RMSE) of 7.6697, and mean absolute error (MAE) of 6.1683 on the development set, which are better or comparable with the state of the art results of the AVEC2014 challenge.
