Funded Activity Summary

Automatic speech-based assessment of mental state via mobile device. This project aims to create the first mobile, device-based automatic assessment of mental state from acoustic speech. Focusing on novel approaches for eliciting speech, for regression-based scoring of mental state and for longitudinal modelling of speech, the project takes speech processing out of the laboratory and into realistic environments. The project is significant because elicitation approach and longitudinal modelling have been acknowledged by the research community as challenges that are valuable to investigate, and because conventional regression methods are sub-optimal on ordinal mental state scales. This is significant commercially because mobile devices allow individually tailored, frequent and low-cost mental state assessment. Expected outcomes will include commercial-ready technology, trialled on Australians, accessible to everyone with a mobile device and concentration of Australian research and development capability in a rapidly growing application area.
