Therapy-FIS: First Public Dataset for Automated Assessment of Therapist Interpersonal Skills
Therapy-FIS is a new dataset for automated assessment of Facilitative Interpersonal Skills (FIS) in psychotherapy, containing facial, acoustic, and textual signals from 890 therapist recordings and 8 patient videos. It includes eight FIS subscale ratings and an overall score, and supports two benchmark tasks: Therapist Performance Rating and Joint Therapist–mock-Patient Performance Rating. The authors also introduce a baseline model, DyadicFIS, which achieves best macro CCC scores of 0.2807 and 0.3299 on the two tasks.
Why it matters: This is the first publicly available dataset for automated FIS assessment, addressing a critical data scarcity and enabling reproducible research in mental health AI.
