Abstract
BACKGROUND While the positive impact of homework completion on symptom alleviation is well-established, the pivotal role of therapists in reviewing these assignments has been under-investigated. This study examined therapists' practice of assigning and reviewing action recommendations in therapy sessions, and how it correlates with patients' depression and anxiety outcomes. METHODS We analyzed 2,444 therapy sessions from community-based behavioral health programs. Machine learning models and natural language processing techniques were deployed to discern action recommendations and their subsequent reviews. The extent of the review was quantified by measuring the proportion of session dialogues reviewing action recommendations, a metric we refer to as "review percentage". Using Generalized Estimating Equations modeling, we evaluated the correlation between this metric and changes in clients' depression and anxiety scores. RESULTS Our models achieved 76% precision in capturing action recommendations and 71.1% in reviewing them. Using these models, we found that therapists typically provided clients with one to eight action recommendations per session to engage in outside therapy. However, only half of the sessions included a review of previously assigned action recommendations. We identified a significant interaction between the initial depression score and the review percentage (p = 0.045). When adjusting for this relationship, the review percentage was positively and significantly associated with a reduction in depression score (p = 0.032). This suggests that more frequent review of action recommendations in therapy relates to greater improvement in depression symptoms. Further analyses highlighted this association for mild depression (p = 0.024), but not for anxiety or moderate to severe depression. CONCLUSIONS An observed positive association exists between therapists' review of previous sessions' action recommendations and improved treatment outcomes among clients with mild depression, highlighting the possible advantages of consistently revisiting therapeutic homework in real-world therapy settings. Results underscore the importance of developing effective strategies to help therapists maintain continuity between therapy sessions, potentially enhancing the impact of therapy.

Abstract
Motivated by work in the area of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we develop a new approach to the problem of reduced-order MRI acquisition. Efforts in this field have concentrated on the use of Fourier and singular value decomposition (SVD) methods to obtain low-order representations of an entire image plane. We augment this work to the case of imaging an arbitrarily-shaped region of interest (ROI) embedded within the full image. After developing a natural error metric for this problem, we show that determining the minimal order required to meet a prescribed error level is in general intractable, but can be solved under certain assumptions. We then develop an optimization approach to the related problem of minimizing the error for a given order. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of this approach and its advantages over existing Fourier and SVD methods on a number of MRI images.
