Analysis
This paper addresses the important and timely problem of identifying depressive symptoms in memes, leveraging LLMs and a multi-agent framework inspired by Cognitive Analytic Therapy. The use of a new resource (RESTOREx) and the significant performance improvement (7.55% in macro-F1) over existing methods are notable contributions. The application of clinical psychology principles to AI is also a key aspect.
