Predicting Psychological Well-Being from Spontaneous Speech using LLMs

Erfan Loweimi, Sofia de la Fuente Garcia, Saturnino Luz

We investigate the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for zero-shot prediction of Ryff Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scores from spontaneous speech. Using a few minutes of voice…
