用多智能体模拟问诊,动态追问提升心理评估准确性
AgentMental: An Interactive Multi-Agent Framework for Explainable and Adaptive Mental Health Assessment
- 设计多智能体系统模拟医生问诊流程,分工协作完成提问与评估
- 通过动态追问机制,针对不完整回答生成针对性问题,提升信息获取率
- 树状记忆结构跟踪对话上下文,减少重复提问,适合临床辅助场景
心理评估对早期干预和有效治疗至关重要,但传统临床方法受限于专业人员短缺。尽管人工智能在自动化心理评估方面取得进展,但多数方法依赖静态文本分析,难以捕捉动态互动中产生的深层信息。为此,本文提出一个交互式多智能体框架,模拟临床医患对话,由专门智能体负责提问、回应评估、评分与状态更新。引入自适应追问机制,评估用户回答的充分性,决定是否生成针对性后续问题以解决模糊或缺失信息。同时采用树状记忆结构,根节点存储用户基础信息,子节点按症状类别和对话轮次组织关键内容,动态更新以减少冗余提问,增强信息提取与上下文追踪能力。在DAIC-WOZ数据集上的实验表明,该方法性能优于现有方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Mental health assessment is crucial for early intervention and effective treatment, yet traditional clinician-based approaches are limited by the shortage of qualified professionals. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have sparked growing interest in automated psychological assessment, yet most existing approaches are constrained by their reliance on static text analysis, limiting their ability to capture deeper and more informative insights that emerge through dynamic interaction and iterative questioning. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a multi-agent framework for mental health evaluation that simulates clinical doctor-patient dialogues, with specialized agents assigned to questioning, adequacy evaluation, scoring, and updating. We introduce an adaptive questioning mechanism in which an evaluation agent assesses the adequacy of user responses to determine the necessity of generating targeted follow-up queries to address ambiguity and missing information. Additionally, we employ a tree-structured memory in which the root node encodes the user's basic information, while child nodes (e.g., topic and statement) organize key information according to distinct symptom categories and interaction turns. This memory is dynamically updated throughout the interaction to reduce redundant questioning and further enhance the information extraction and contextual tracking capabilities. Experimental results on the DAIC-WOZ dataset illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed method, which achieves better performance than existing approaches.
