• Abstract summary: Depression is a prominent health challenge to the world, and early risk detection (ERD) of depression from online posts can be a promising technique for combating the threat. We propose a psychiatric scale guided risky post screening method that can capture risky posts related to the dimensions defined in clinical depression scales. A Hierarchical Attentional Network equipped with BERT (HAN-BERT) is proposed to further advance explainable predictions.

• Abstract: Depression is a prominent health challenge to the world, and early risk detection (ERD) of depression from online posts can be a promising technique for combating the threat. Early depression detection faces the challenge of efficiently tackling streaming data, balancing the tradeoff between timeliness, accuracy and explainability. To tackle these challenges, we propose a psychiatric scale guided risky post screening method that can capture risky posts related to the dimensions defined in clinical depression scales, and providing interpretable diagnostic basis. A Hierarchical Attentional Network equipped with BERT (HAN-BERT) is proposed to further advance explainable predictions. For ERD, we propose an online algorithm based on an evolving queue of risky posts that can significantly reduce the number of model inferences to boost efficiency. Experiments show that our method outperforms the competitive feature-based and neural models under conventional depression detection settings, and achieves simultaneous improvement in both efficacy and efficiency for ERD.

  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.
