• Title: Weakly-Supervised Methods for Suicide Risk Assessment: Role of Related Domains
• Authors: Chenghao Yang, Yudong Zhang, Smaranda Muresan
• Abstract summary: We propose an empirical investigation into several classes of weakly-supervised approaches to suicide risk assessment. We show that using pseudo-labeling based on related issues around mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression) helps improve model performance for suicide risk assessment.

• Abstract: Social media has become a valuable resource for the study of suicidal ideation and the assessment of suicide risk. Among social media platforms, Reddit has emerged as the most promising one due to its anonymity and its focus on topic-based communities (subreddits) that can be indicative of someone's state of mind or interest regarding mental health disorders such as r/SuicideWatch, r/Anxiety, r/depression. A challenge for previous work on suicide risk assessment has been the small amount of labeled data. We propose an empirical investigation into several classes of weakly-supervised approaches, and show that using pseudo-labeling based on related issues around mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression) helps improve model performance for suicide risk assessment.

• Non-Invasive Suicide Risk Prediction Through Speech Analysis [74.8396086718266]
  We present a non-invasive, speech-based approach for automatic suicide risk assessment. We extract three sets of features, including wav2vec, interpretable speech and acoustic features, and deep learning-based spectral representations. Our most effective speech model achieves a balanced accuracy of $66.2,%$.

  This paper presents an efficient semantic pipeline to study depression severity in individuals based on their social media writings. We use test user sentences for producing semantic rankings over an index of representative training sentences corresponding to depressive symptoms and severity levels. We evaluate our methods on two Reddit-based benchmarks, achieving 30% improvement over state of the art in terms of measuring depression severity.

  We develop deep learning algorithms to assess suicide risk in terms of severity and temporality from Reddit data. Our results suggest that the time-variant approach outperforms the time-invariant method in the assessment of suicide-related ideations and supportive behaviors. The proposed approach can be integrated with clinical diagnostic interviews for improving suicide risk assessments.

  We build and unify a high-level suicide-oriented knowledge graph with deep neural networks for suicidal ideation detection on social media. We show that the social media-based suicidal ideation detection can achieve over 93% accuracy. Under these categories, posted text, stress level, stress duration, posted image, and ruminant thinking contribute to one's suicidal ideation detection.
