CONTACT:Ekaterina Kochmar
DESCRIPTION:Recent research on consultations between outpatients with schi
 zophrenia\nand psychiatrists suggests that the likelihood of adherence to 
 treatment\ncorrelates with particular conversational phenomena -- specific
 ally\, the\nuse of repair by the patient to check their understanding. Thi
 s talk\nwill discuss initial results from a project investigating the\napp
 lication of computational linguistic techniques to automatically\ndetect t
 hese repair phenomena within consultation transcripts\, and to\nuse these 
 and other features of the dialogue and the language used to\npredict patie
 nts' symptoms\, satisfaction and adherence.
