• Authors: Ayaan Haque, Viraaj Reddi, and Tyler Giallanza
• Abstract summary: Early detection of suicidal ideation in depressed individuals can allow for adequate medical attention and support. Recent NLP research focuses on classifying, from a given piece of text, if an individual is suicidal or clinically healthy. We propose SDCNL, a suicide versus classification method through a deep learning approach.

• Abstract: Early detection of suicidal ideation in depressed individuals can allow for adequate medical attention and support, which in many cases is life-saving. Recent NLP research focuses on classifying, from a given piece of text, if an individual is suicidal or clinically healthy. However, there have been no major attempts to differentiate between depression and suicidal ideation, which is an important clinical challenge. Due to the scarce availability of EHR data, suicide notes, or other similar verified sources, web query data has emerged as a promising alternative. Online sources, such as Reddit, allow for anonymity that prompts honest disclosure of symptoms, making it a plausible source even in a clinical setting. However, these online datasets also result in lower performance, which can be attributed to the inherent noise in web-scraped labels, which necessitates a noise-removal process. Thus, we propose SDCNL, a suicide versus depression classification method through a deep learning approach. We utilize online content from Reddit to train our algorithm, and to verify and correct noisy labels, we propose a novel unsupervised label correction method which, unlike previous work, does not require prior noise distribution information. Our extensive experimentation with multiple deep word embedding models and classifiers display the strong performance of the method in anew, challenging classification application. We make our code and dataset available at https://github.com/ayaanzhaque/SDCNL

• Enhancing Suicide Risk Detection on Social Media through Semi-Supervised Deep Label Smoothing [15.1082838217225]
  Barriers to people receiving support include social stigma and lack of access to mental health care. With the popularity of social media, people have turned to online forums, such as Reddit to express their feelings and seek support. Social media posts can be classified, using text classification, to help connect people with professional help. These systems fail to account for the inherent uncertainty in classifying mental health conditions.

  This study presents a Chinese social media dataset designed for fine-grained suicide risk classification. Seven pre-trained models were evaluated in two tasks: high and low suicide risk, and fine-grained suicide risk classification on a level of 0 to 10. Deep learning models show good performance in distinguishing between high and low suicide risk, with the best model achieving an F1 score of 88.39%.

  This paper describes a novel methodology that identifies suicidality in clinical notes by addressing this data sparsity issue through zero-shot learning. A deep neural network was trained by mapping the training documents contents to a semantic space. In applying a 0.90 probability threshold, the methodology identified notes not associated with a relevant ICD 10 CM code that documented suicidality, with 94 percent accuracy.
