Can Conversational Temporal Dynamics Improve Depression Detection in Dyads? A Preliminary Investigation in Multi-Modality Perspectives

arXiv:2607.03744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic depression detection from clinical interviews typically models the semantic content and acoustic characteristics of participant speech. However, the interactional timing between the clinician and participant remains comparatively under-modeled. We investigate conversational temporal dynamics, specifically dyadic turn-pair timing, as a primary modality fused with self-supervised encoders. Evaluated on the DAIC-WOZ dataset, we compare a compact 24-dimensional timing module against frozen WavLM-large and RoBERTa-large baseline detectors. T
