WITHDRAWN: Behavioral therapy using conversational chatbot for depression treatment using advanced RNN and pretrained word embeddings

Intelligent Cognitive Assistants for Attitude and Behavior Change Support in Mental Health: State-of-the-Art Technical Review

“…Pola and Chetty [117] created an ICA that offers behavioral therapy to people with depression. The ICA tried to get information from the user on their mental state.…”

This may be through the strategies that the systems deploy to produce ABC, e.g., CBT techniques, or through user modeling, where knowledge on SAD helps make the systems more empathetic.…”
