Abstract

This study tackles the crucial problem of forecasting employment anxiety in graduates through surpassing the constraints of traditional evaluation techniques that depend on static self-reports and ignore the dynamic social context.We present a multimodal dynamic graph neural network framework which fuses Smartphone-sensed behavioural data and real-world physical interaction networks.We use a bidirectional gated recurrent unit to encode the temporal behaviour, and we also have a dynamic graph attention to capture the changes in social support.Comprehensive evaluation on the StudentLife dataset shows that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art baselines significantly by reducing root mean square error by 12.5% from 5.82 to 5.09 and mean absolute error by 15.8% from 4.68 to 3.94 and getting a determination coefficient of 0.67.These results show that the framework works well at copying how individual behaviours and social forces work together for mental health checks.
