abstract = "This paper presents the results of applying a Genetic
Programming (GP) based feature selection algorithm to
find a small set of highly discriminating features for
the detection of clinical depression from a patient's
speech. While the performance of the GP-based
classifiers was not as good as hoped for, several
Bayesian classifiers were trained using the features
found via GP and it was determined that these features
do hold good discriminating power. The similarity of
the feature sets found using GP for different
observational groupings suggests that these features
are likely to generalize well and thus provide good
results with other clinical depression speech
databases.",
