Abstract
Therapeutic engagement between client and clinician is a key indicator in determining treatment outcomes for clients with mental health disorders. Quantifying this type of engagement provides an opportunity for the development of an engagement quantification framework for therapeutic efficacy, based on a number of data streams including, body movement and synchronicity, speech, and gestures to determine an individual's level of engagement. In this paper, we present a subset of such a framework through the quantification of engagement based on Facial Affect Recognition, Head Motion, and Natural Language Processing. We propose the use of semantic analysis, emotion dynamics and transitions, and head motion to describe a participant's attention over the consultation. For emotion dynamics and transitions we employ seven standard categorical emotions; for head motion we use acute and chronic head movement; and for semantic analysis we employ Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach. These features derive two engagement levels: low and high. We performed experiments on the AnnoMI dataset, which contains 133 therapeutic consultation videos for low and high quality motivational interviews, and compared the resulting engagement to the level of motivational interviewing. We achieved an 89.1% average accuracy for the Clinician model and an 81.1% average accuracy for the Client model using Gradient Boost as a classifier.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
