Abstract
We present a novel recommendation system designed to provide real-time treatment strategies to therapists during psychotherapy sessions. Our system utilizes a turn-level rating mechanism that forecasts the therapeutic outcome by calculating a similarity score between the profound representation of a scoring inventory and the patient's current spoken sentence. By transcribing and segmenting the continuous audio stream into patient and therapist turns, our system conducts immediate evaluation of their therapeutic working alliance. The resulting dialogue pairs, along with their computed working alliance ratings, are then utilized in a deep reinforcement learning recommendation system. In this system, the sessions are treated as users, while the topics are treated as items. To showcase the system's effectiveness, we not only evaluate its performance using an existing dataset of psychotherapy sessions but also demonstrate its practicality through a web app. Through this demo, we aim to provide a tangible and engaging experience of our recommendation system in action.
