Deep Learning for Depression Recognition with Audiovisual Cues: A Review
It addresses the problem of timely depression diagnosis for patients by reviewing automated detection methods, but it is incremental as it synthesizes existing research rather than presenting new findings.
This review paper surveys deep learning methods for automatic depression detection using audiovisual cues, summarizing existing databases, objective markers, and approaches to extract depression representations from audio and video, while discussing challenges and future directions.
With the acceleration of the pace of work and life, people have to face more and more pressure, which increases the possibility of suffering from depression. However, many patients may fail to get a timely diagnosis due to the serious imbalance in the doctor-patient ratio in the world. Promisingly, physiological and psychological studies have indicated some differences in speech and facial expression between patients with depression and healthy individuals. Consequently, to improve current medical care, many scholars have used deep learning to extract a representation of depression cues in audio and video for automatic depression detection. To sort out and summarize these works, this review introduces the databases and describes objective markers for automatic depression estimation (ADE). Furthermore, we review the deep learning methods for automatic depression detection to extract the representation of depression from audio and video. Finally, this paper discusses challenges and promising directions related to automatic diagnosing of depression using deep learning technologies.
