MI approaches focus on eliciting clients' own intrinsic reasons for changing their behavior toward the desired outcome.

These codes have shown to be effective means of assessing the quality of the session, training therapists, and estimating clients' behavioral outcomes (Lundahl et al., 2010; Diclemente et al., 2017; Magill et al., 2018) . Due to the high cost and labor-intensive procedure of manually annotating utterance-level behaviors, existing efforts have worked on automatic coding of the MI behaviors. The client utterances throughout the MI session are categorized based on their expressed attitude toward change of behavior: (1) Change Talk (CT): willing to change, (2) Sustain Talk (ST): resisting to change, and (3) Follow/Neutral (FN): other talk unrelated to change.

(FN) Previous work in MI literature mainly approached automatic classification of behavior codes in MI by modeling utterance-level representations. Aswamenakul et al. (2018) trained a logistic regression model using both interpretable linguistic features (LIWC) and GloVe embeddings, finding that Sustain Talk is associated with positive attitude towards drinking, and the opposite for Change Talk. To account for dialog context, Can et al. (2015) formulated the task as a sequence labeling problem, and trained a Conditional Random Field (CRF) to predict MI codes. More recent approaches leveraged advances in neural networks, using standard recurrent neural networks (RNNs) Ewbank et al., Huang et al., 2018) or hierarchical encoders with attention (Cao et al., 2019) . In addition to context modeling, Tavabi et al. (2020) leveraged pretrained contextualized embeddings (Devlin et al., 2019) and incorporated the speech modality to classify MI codes, beating the previous baseline of Aswamenakul et al.

Therefore, despite the good results, there is much room for improvement before such systems can be autonomously utilized in real-world MI sessions. Of the wrongly classified utterances by LIWC, 47% were correctly classified by RoBERTa. Of the RoBERTa misclassifications (11k utterances), about 30% were correctly classified by LIWC.
