CAF-Mamba: Mamba-Based Cross-Modal Adaptive Attention Fusion for Multimodal Depression DetectionBowen Zhou, Marc-André Fiedler, Ayoub Al-Hamadi
Depression is a prevalent mental health disorder that severely impairs daily functioning and quality of life. While recent deep learning approaches for depression detection have shown promise, most rely on limited feature types, overlook explicit cross-modal interactions, and employ simple concatenation or static weighting for fusion. To overcome these limitations, we propose CAF-Mamba, a novel Mamba-based cross-modal adaptive attention fusion framework. CAF-Mamba not only captures cross-modal interactions explicitly and implicitly, but also dynamically adjusts modality contributions through a modality-wise attention mechanism, enabling more effective multimodal fusion. Experiments on two in-the-wild benchmark datasets, LMVD and D-Vlog, demonstrate that CAF-Mamba consistently outperforms existing methods and achieves state-of-the-art performance.

Long-Term Prediction of Local and Global Human Motion with Occlusion RecoveryQiaoyue Yang, Sven Heutger, Christopher Niemann et al.
Human motion describes the three-dimensional full-body movement of a person. Anticipating such motion holds significant relevance across a wide range of application domains such as human-robot interaction, autonomous driving, animation, and healthcare. In recent research, spatial and temporal dependencies are modeled by bidirectional attention mechanisms. These typically anticipate human motion in an autoregressive manner which could cause an accumulation of errors over time. As a consequence, they solely focus on local pose forecasting. To address these limitations, we propose a non-autoregressive transformer based on spatio-temporal attention, and train it not only for local pose anticipation, but also for global motion prediction in space. Furthermore, to enhance its applicability in real-world scenarios, our model is also trained to recover missing joints due to occlusions, and is capable of processing varying lengths of history observations.
