Hirsch T, Merced K, Narayanan S, Imel ZE, Atkins DC.
PMID: 28890949
DIS (Des Interact Syst Conf). 2017 Jun;2017:95-99. doi: 10.1145/3064663.3064703.

We describe the design of an automated assessment and training tool for psychotherapists to illustrate challenges with creating interactive machine learning (ML) systems, particularly in contexts where human life, livelihood, and wellbeing are at stake. We explore how existing...

PMID: 27017830
Curr Psychiatry Rep. 2016 May;18(5):49. doi: 10.1007/s11920-016-0682-5.

Empathy is an important psychological process that facilitates human communication and interaction. Enhancement of empathy has profound significance in a range of applications. In this paper, we review emerging directions of research on computational analysis of empathy expression and...

Detecting paralinguistic events in audio stream using context in features and probabilistic decisions.

Computer speech & language

Gupta R, Audhkhasi K, Lee S, Narayanan S.
PMID: 28713197
Comput Speech Lang. 2016 Mar;36:72-92. doi: 10.1016/j.csl.2015.08.003. Epub 2015 Sep 11.

Non-verbal communication involves encoding, transmission and decoding of non-lexical cues and is realized using vocal (e.g. prosody) or visual (e.g. gaze, body language) channels during conversation. These cues perform the function of maintaining conversational flow, expressing emotions, and marking...

Can a computer detect interpersonal skills? Using machine learning to scale up the Facilitative Interpersonal Skills task.

Using Prosodic and Lexical Information for Learning Utterance-level Behaviors in Psychotherapy.

Interspeech

Singla K, Chen Z, Flemotomos N, Gibson J, Can D, Atkins DC, Narayanan S.
PMID: 34307639
Interspeech. 2018 Sep;2018:3413-3417. doi: 10.21437/interspeech.2018-2551.

In this paper, we present an approach for predicting utterance level behaviors in psychotherapy sessions using both speech and lexical features. We train long short term memory (LSTM) networks with an attention mechanism using words, both manually and automatically...

Should we trust our judgments about the proficiency of Motivational Interviewing counselors? A glimpse at the impact of low inter-rater reliability.

Motivational interviewing : training, research, implementation, practice

Dunn C, Darnell D, Yi SK, Steyvers M, Bumgardner K, Lord SP, Imel Z, Atkins DC.
PMID: 27595051
Motiv Interviewing. 2014;1(3):38-41. doi: 10.5195/mitrip.2014.43.

Standardized rating systems are often used to evaluate the proficiency of Motivational Interviewing (MI) counselors. The published inter-rater reliability (degree of coder agreement) in many studies using these instruments has varied a great deal; some studies report MI proficiency...

Rating motivational interviewing fidelity from thin slices.

Psychology of addictive behaviors : journal of the Society of Psychologists in Addictive Behaviors

Caperton DD, Atkins DC, Imel ZE.
PMID: 29723012
Psychol Addict Behav. 2018 Jun;32(4):434-441. doi: 10.1037/adb0000359. Epub 2018 May 03.

Monitoring fidelity to psychosocial treatments is critical to dissemination, process and outcome research, and internal validity in efficacy trials. However, the costs required to behavior code fidelity to treatments like motivational interviewing (MI) over many therapists and sessions quickly...

Transfer Learning from Adult to Children for Speech Recognition: Evaluation, Analysis and Recommendations.

Computer speech & language

Shivakumar PG, Georgiou P.
PMID: 32372847
Comput Speech Lang. 2020 Sep;63. doi: 10.1016/j.csl.2020.101077. Epub 2020 Feb 18.

Children speech recognition is challenging mainly due to the inherent high variability in children's physical and articulatory characteristics and expressions. This variability manifests in both acoustic constructs and linguistic usage due to the rapidly changing developmental stage in children's...

A technology prototype system for rating therapist empathy from audio recordings in addiction counseling.

PeerJ. Computer science

Xiao B, Huang C, Imel ZE, Atkins DC, Georgiou P, Narayanan SS.
PMID: 28286867
PeerJ Comput Sci. 2016 Apr;2. doi: 10.7717/peerj-cs.59. Epub 2016 Apr 20.

Scaling up psychotherapy services such as for addiction counseling is a critical societal need. One challenge is ensuring quality of therapy, due to the heavy cost of manual observational assessment. This work proposes a speech technology-based system to automate...

Behavioral Signal Processing: Deriving Human Behavioral Informatics From Speech and Language: Computational techniques are presented to analyze and model expressed and perceived human behavior-variedly characterized as typical, atypical, distressed, and disordered-from speech and language cues and their applications in health, commerce, education, and beyond.

Proceedings of the IEEE. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Narayanan S, Georgiou PG.
PMID: 24039277
