Abstract
The accelerated speed of contemporary life and work raises people’s psychological stress in general, and the prevalence rate of depression has been increasing in recent years. Therefore, effectively preventing and diagnosing depression is becoming a focus of medical study. This paper proposes a model for depression prediction based on BiAttention-GRU (Bimodal Attention and Gate Recurrent Unit) by analyzing text, speech and facial expression features associated with depression. In which PAttention (Parallel Attention) is used to extract essential local features from each modal to reduce the influence of irrelevant information. FAttention (Fusion Attention) is employed to calculate the contribution degree of each model and their fusion features. GRU is utilized to extract the temporal information for the features upper and lower segments. Finally, the Softmax layer is used to achieve depression prediction results. Comparing the proposed approach with the CNN-Attention, GRU-Attention, BiAttention (Bimodel Attention), Bert etc. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms than other models. The prediction accuracy achieved by the proposed method is 89.77%.
