• Title: Indirect Identification of Psychosocial Risks from Natural Language
• Authors: Kristen C. Allen, Alex Davis, and Tamar Krishnamurti
• Abstract summary: psychosocial health risks, including depression and intimate partner violence, are associated with serious adverse health outcomes for parents and children. We examine indirect methods of eliciting and analyzing information that could indicate psychosocial risks. Regularized regression is used to predict screening measures of depression and psychological aggression by an intimate partner.

• Abstract: During the perinatal period, psychosocial health risks, including depression and intimate partner violence, are associated with serious adverse health outcomes for parents and children. To appropriately intervene, healthcare professionals must first identify those at risk, yet stigma often prevents people from directly disclosing the information needed to prompt an assessment. We examine indirect methods of eliciting and analyzing information that could indicate psychosocial risks. Short diary entries by peripartum women exhibit thematic patterns, extracted by topic modeling, and emotional perspective, drawn from dictionary-informed sentiment features. Using these features, we use regularized regression to predict screening measures of depression and psychological aggression by an intimate partner. Journal text entries quantified through topic models and sentiment features show promise for depression prediction, with performance almost as good as closed-form questions. Text-based features were less useful for prediction of intimate partner violence, but moderately indirect multiple-choice questioning allowed for detection without explicit disclosure. Both methods may serve as an initial or complementary screening approach to detecting stigmatized risks.

  This study involves a novel dataset comprising speech recordings of 20 patients who read neutral texts. We extract four speech representations encompassing interpretable and deep features. By applying gender-exclusive modelling, features extracted from an emotion fine-tuned wav2vec2.0 model can be utilised to discriminate high- from low- suicide risk with a balanced accuracy of 81%.

• Towards More Efficient Depression Risk Recognition via Gait [12.28595811609976]
  Depression affects over 280 million individuals worldwide. Early detection and timely intervention are crucial for promoting remission, preventing relapse, and alleviating the emotional and financial burdens associated with depression. The correlation between gait and depression risk has been empirically established. This study first constructs a large-scale gait database, encompassing over 1,200 individuals, 40,000 gait sequences, and covering six perspectives and three types of attire. A deep learning-based depression risk recognition model is proposed, overcoming the limitations of hand-crafted approaches.
