• Abstract summary: We define a new task of identifying moments of change in individuals on the basis of their shared content online. The changes we consider are sudden shifts in mood (switches) or gradual mood progression (escalations) We have created detailed guidelines for capturing moments of change and a corpus of 500 manually annotated user timelines.

• Abstract: Identifying changes in individuals' behaviour and mood, as observed via content shared on online platforms, is increasingly gaining importance. Most research to-date on this topic focuses on either: (a) identifying individuals at risk or with a certain mental health condition given a batch of posts or (b) providing equivalent labels at the post level. A disadvantage of such work is the lack of a strong temporal component and the inability to make longitudinal assessments following an individual's trajectory and allowing timely interventions. Here we define a new task, that of identifying moments of change in individuals on the basis of their shared content online. The changes we consider are sudden shifts in mood (switches) or gradual mood progression (escalations). We have created detailed guidelines for capturing moments of change and a corpus of 500 manually annotated user timelines (18.7K posts). We have developed a variety of baseline models drawing inspiration from related tasks and show that the best performance is obtained through context aware sequential modelling. We also introduce new metrics for capturing rare events in temporal windows.

  Critical moments, such as emotional outbursts or changes in decisions during conversations, are crucial for understanding shifts in human behavior and their consequences. Our work introduces a novel problem setting focusing on these moments as turning points (TPs) We provide precise timestamps, descriptions, and visual-textual evidence high-lighting changes in emotions, behaviors, perspectives, and decisions at these turning points. We also propose a framework, TPMaven, utilizing state-of-the-art vision-language models to construct a narrative from the videos and large language models to classify and detect turning points.

  Single-round generation often overlooks crucial details, particularly in the realm of fine-grained changes like shoes or sleeves. We introduce a new self-supervised regularization, ie, multi-round regularization, which is compatible with existing methods. It builds upon the observation that the modification order generally should not affect the final result.

We explicitly account for prior images and reports when available during both training and fine-tuning. Our approach, named BioViL-T, uses a CNN-Transformer hybrid multi-image encoder trained jointly with a text model.

  We argue that current fixed-sized-temporal kernels in 3 convolutional neural networks (CNNDs) can be improved to better deal with temporal variations in the input. We study how we can better handle between classes of actions, by enhancing their feature differences over different layers of the architecture. The proposed approaches are evaluated on several benchmark action recognition datasets and show competitive results.

The model then uses an innovative attention mechanism to generate high-level action specific contextual information for activity recognition.

  We show that user activity on social media platforms follows a distinct pattern of high activity periods with interleaving periods of no activity. We then show how studying activity during bursts can provide a personalized, medium-term analysis for a key question in online mental health communities. Using two independent outcome metrics, moments of cognitive change and self-reported changes in mood during a burst of activity, we identify two actionable features that can improve outcomes for users.
