• Title: Assessing Viewer's Mental Health by Detecting Depression in YouTube Videos
• Authors: Shanya Sharma and Manan Dey
• Abstract summary: Depression is one of the leading causes of suicide and placing large economic burdens on families and society. In this paper, we develop and test the efficacy of machine learning techniques applied to the content of YouTube videos. Our model can detect depressive videos with an accuracy of 83%.

• Abstract: Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health issues around the world, proving to be one of the leading causes of suicide and placing large economic burdens on families and society. In this paper, we develop and test the efficacy of machine learning techniques applied to the content of YouTube videos captured through their transcripts and determine if the videos are depressive or have a depressing trigger. Our model can detect depressive videos with an accuracy of 83%. We also introduce a real-life evaluation technique to validate our classification based on the comments posted on a video by calculating the CES-D scores of the comments. This work conforms greatly with the UN Sustainable Goal of ensuring Good Health and Well Being with major conformity with section UN SDG 3.4.

  Depression, a prominent contributor to global disability, affects a substantial portion of the population.

We propose a simple and flexible multi-modal temporal model capable of discerning non-verbal depression cues from diverse modalities in noisy, real-world videos.

  Depression is debilitating, and not uncommon. Indeed, studies of excessive social media users show correlations with depression, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. We propose a severity depression detection system using a semi-supervised learning technique to predict if a post is from a user who is experiencing severe, moderate, or low levels of depression.
