How Could an Artificial Intelligence Detect The ‘Depression”?

The artificial intelligence model is named “context-free” as it examines how things are being communicated, instead of what is being communicated.

The researchers claimed the model proved a 77% success rate in recognising depression.

The Massachusetts Institute of technology (MIT) researchers have developed a Technology which they claim is proficient of sensing depression in individuals grounded on spoken and written responses.

The artificial intelligence (AI) model is named “context-free” as it examines how things are being communicated, instead of what is being communicated.

“We call it ‘context-free,’ because you’re not putting any constraints into the types of questions you’re looking for and the type of responses to those questions,” researcher Tuka Alhanai stated.

According to research co-author James Glass “every patient will talk differently, and if the model sees changes maybe it will be a flag to the doctors.”

He further said, “this is a step forward in seeing if we can do something assistive to help clinicians.”
