ABSTRACT Difficulties with emotion expression and social behavior characterize multiple psychiatric conditions and negatively impact child development. However, existing measurement tools for indexing social-emotional function are imprecise and subjective, or require specialized training that is costly and time-intensive, prohibiting widespread implementation. The imprecision of existing tools has a major negative impact not only on research, but on the ability to assess and treat individuals with mental health concerns – especially among underserved and under-resourced populations. Here, we propose to address this problem by quantifying social and emotional behavior using novel biobehavioral markers derived from computer vision (facial expression analysis) and computational linguistics (social/sentiment analysis). Our team has successfully used these markers to predict the presence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with 91% accuracy. In this proposal, we determine the extent to which our markers can serve as continuous measures of social behavior and negative emotion to advance clinical phenotyping and interventions. The proposal brings together two high-bandwidth clinical research programs at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Baylor College of Medicine to collect data on 750 adolescents (ages 12-17 inclusive) with ASD, a primary anxiety or depressive disorder, or without any developmental/psychiatric condition. At a single assessment, all youth will participate in an extensive clinical phenotyping battery consisting of validated clinical interviews and child-/parent-report scales assessing converging and diverging mental health constructs, and three tasks eliciting positive/negative emotion, social stress, and mild frustration. A subsample of 150 adolescents will be reassessed 6-10 weeks later to allow retest/stability analyses. A novel camera apparatus will capture naturalistic synchronized verbal and nonverbal signals from dyads. Our analytic approach combines state-of-the-art machine learning, computational linguistics, and computer vision – including facial emotion recognition methods that rival several commonly used alternatives. The ultimate goal of this proposal is to develop valid and objective measures of the Social and Negative Valence Systems using novel biobehavioral markers in a large transdiagnostic sample of youth. Secondary goals are to develop easy-to-follow methods to widely disseminate our tools and procedures, and to characterize individual variability in these key RDoC metrics by age, gender, race/ethnicity, and diagnosis. The achievement of these goals will provide researchers with sorely needed measures of social and emotional behavior, and provide clinicians with a new set of tools for identifying and tracking youth in need of mental health treatment.

抽象的 情绪表达和社会行为的困难是多种精神病状况的特征 对儿童发育产生负面影响。但是，现有的测量工具用于索引社会情感 功能是暗中和主观的，或需要昂贵且耗时的专业培训 宽度实现。现有工具的实现不仅对研究产生了重大的负面影响， 但是，关于评估和治疗心理健康问题的人的能力，尤其是在服务不足的人中 和资源不足的人口。在这里，我们建议通过量化社交和情感来解决这个问题 使用来自计算机视觉的新型生物行为标记（面部表达分析）和 计算语言学（社会/情感分析）。我们的团队已成功使用这些标记来预测 具有91％精度的自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的存在。在此提案中，我们确定 我们的标记可以作为对社会行为和负面情绪的持续衡量 临床表型和干预措施。该提案汇集了两项高带宽临床研究 费城儿童医院和贝勒医学院的计划，以收集750的数据 ASD，主要焦虑或抑郁症或没有任何ASD的青少年（12-17岁），或没有任何 发育/精神病状况。在一次评估中，所有年轻人都将参加广泛的临床 表型电池包括经过验证的临床访谈和子女/父母报告评估评估 融合和分歧的心理健康结构以及引起积极/负面情绪的三个任务，社会 压力和轻度挫败感。 6-10周后，将重新评估150名青少年的子样本，以允许 重测/稳定性分析。一种新颖的相机设备将捕获自然主义的同步言语和非言语 来自Dyads的信号。我们的分析方法结合了最先进的机器学习，计算语言学， 和计算机视觉 - 包括面部情感识别方法，这些方法冒着几种常用的风险 替代方案。该提案的最终目标是制定社会和客观的衡量 在大量的经诊断的青年样本中，使用新型生物行为标记的负价系统。 次要目标是开发易于遵循的方法，以广泛传播我们的工具和程序，并 按年龄，性别，种族/种族和诊断范围来表征这些关键RDOC指标中的个体变异性。 实现这些目标将为研究人员提供非常需要的社会和情感措施 行为，并为临床医生提供一套新的工具，用于识别和跟踪需要心理健康的青年 治疗。
