Implementation provides the path of a relationship better than therapists

Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and from the University of Utah have developed an application that, after hearing a couple's conversation, can predict the success or failure of the relationship better than a therapist.Relationship application

In fact, the application boasts a precision of almost 79 percent. The predictions of whether a relationship improves or worsens over time is based on the tone of the voice used by couples when they talk to each other.

The program uses an algorithm that analyzes therapy sessions (marriage counselling, etc.) and was successfully tested during recent years. Uses explanatory techniques speech measures that focus on timbre, intensity, and gloss – as well as slightly less quantitative measures, such as the use of verbs that tend to show increasing emotion.

The application is not plug-and-play. The program needs to attend multiple sessions to "map" the relationship.

"Looking at an example of a couple's behavior limits us to our observation," said Panagiotis Georgiou, one of the researchers s.

"However, looking at multiple points in time and looking at individuals as well as the dynamics of the couple can help identify the trajectory of their relationship."

According to its leader , Shrikanth Narayanan, ο αλγόριθμος κάνει κάτι περισσότερο από μια ανάλυση του λόγου.

"It's not just about your feelings," he said. "It's a study of the effects of what your partner is saying about your feelings."

The findings of the study are, of course, a huge step in the analysis of things that once were considered to be very qualitatively measured effectively.

The researchers are currently in the final stages of developing programs that will help monitor vocalizations as well as body language to further enhance the of the relationship.

Apps are not available to the public.
