Abstract: Our ultimate objective in data mining is to identify any hidden patterns or relationships between our data elements, and in one sense, machine learning provides us with a set of techniques to do just that: techniques that allow us to learn the patterns without any outside influence (unsupervised learning). However, just as is the case with anything, that power comes at a price, but the results can be very interesting and very significant. In other cases, we have some sense on what the results should be and so can guide the learning techniques through an initial “training” phase, directing our system and honing the results (supervised learning). These two broad classifications of machine-learning methods will ground us as we discuss a broad range of techniques and where they are currently being applied in life sciences research, expanding our toolkit and enabling us to take a very different path in our analysis efforts: using an artificial intelligence discipline and letting the data tell us what it contains. As datasets grow, these techniques become more important.

Abstract: Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) have become increasingly prominent as scalable solutions to address global mental health needs. However, many existing tools lack the emotional sensitivity required to foster meaningful engagement and therapeutic effectiveness. Affective computing, a field focused on designing systems capable of detecting and responding to human emotions, offers promising advancements to the emotional responsiveness of these digital interventions. This narrative review examines how affective computing methods such as emotion recognition, sentiment analysis, emotion synthesis, and audiovisual and physiological signal processing, are being integrated into DMHIs to enhance user engagement and improve clinical outcomes. The findings suggest that emotionally adaptive systems can strengthen user engagement, simulate empathy, and support more personalized care. Early studies indicate potential benefits in terms of symptom reduction and user satisfaction, though clinical validation remains limited. Challenges such as algorithmic bias, privacy concerns, and the need for ethical design frameworks continue to shape the development of this emerging field. By synthesizing current trends, technological advancements, and ethical considerations, this review highlights the potential of affective computing in digital mental health and identifies key directions for future research and implementation.

Lawrence R. Rabiner
- 01 Feb 1989
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the basic theory of hidden Markov models (HMMs) as originated by L.E. Baum and T. Petrie (1966) and give practical details on methods of implementation of the theory along with a description of selected applications of HMMs to distinct problems in speech recognition.
