What happens if you apply the Multilingual Language Model Toolkit for Sentiment Analysis (XLM-T), “a transformer-based NLP model derived from the Cross-lingual Language Model based on RoBERTa”, to psychotherapy transcripts? Eberhardt et al. (2024) investigate. Here’s a slightly simplified Table 1, showing correlations between positive and negative sentiment and a patient-reported emotions scale. Green gives between-patient correlations and pink within-patient across sessions. Note the wide confidence intervals.
