A negative relationship between Happiness and Thought Disturbance and a positive relationship between Anger and Hostile Suspiciousness were replicated across samples... 3/4

A negative relationship between Dominance and Anxious Depression symptoms and a positive relationship between Surprise and Hostile Suspiciousness were replicated across timepoints.... 2/4

Super stoked to share that we received the #NOA for our R01!!! We will be using speech and language markers to develop personalized, adaptive markers for #psychosis. Very grateful for the support from the NIMH.

🔍 By analyzing both linguistic and paralinguistic speech characteristics, our approach demonstrated robust disorder-specific learning across multiple groups, including those with sub-clinical psychotic experiences & major depressive disorder. 📊 #PrecisionMedicine 3/3

The machine learning model achieved 86% accuracy distinguishing conditions on the schizophrenia-bipolar spectrum using speech features. 2/3

Examining one feature at-a-time, we can identify quite a few which predict each of the psychosis symptoms domains at a significance level that survives corrections for multiple comparisons. These relationships were largely robust to interactions with gender andrace. 4/6

A single component score representing the 357 speech and language features significantly predicted psychosis symptoms over time for all three domains. 3/6

We collected 160 sessions for 66 participants x 4 timepoints: 1) around the time of admission, 2) around discharge, 3) and 4) at 3 & 6 month follow up. The final feature set included 357 task-specific features representing a range of speech and language analyses. 2/6

Hey #ACNP2024! Come check out our poster using speech and language features and #MachineLearning for classification in a multi-diagnostic sample. Tuesday #84.

North Shore Therapeutics is presenting our preliminary findings suggesting that our AR prototype is promising for targeting negative symptoms in #schizophrenias! Check it out - Poster S11 #TIPS2024.

Check out our poster at #TIPS2024 describing our multimodal acoustics and NLP pipeline at the Tang Lab!

Several interesting patterns were identified and would be of interest to study in a larger longitudinal study for
#NLP markers of psychotherapeutic processes. 4/5

#NLP features included speech graph representations of 1st-person vs. 2nd/3rd-person pronouns, their centrality, and whether these were used in the context of actively performing actions, or being the object of actions. Also temporal focus and cognitive processes. 3/5

Five participants with schizophrenia underwent 24 sessions each of MERIT psychotherapy, which targets metacognition. We explored whether language markers might capture putative changes in participants' expression of their agency, awareness of others, and perspective taking. 2/5
