• Abstract: A fundamental component of user-level social media language based clinical depression modelling is depression symptoms detection (DSD). Unfortunately, there does not exist any DSD dataset that reflects both the clinical insights and the distribution of depression symptoms from the samples of self-disclosed depressed population. In our work, we describe an Active Learning (AL) framework which uses an initial supervised learning model that leverages 1) a state-of-the-art large mental health forum text pre-trained language model further fine-tuned on a clinician annotated DSD dataset, 2) a Zero-Shot learning model for DSD, and couples them together to harvest depression symptoms related samples from our large self-curated Depression Tweets Repository (DTR). Our clinician annotated dataset is the largest of its kind. Furthermore, DTR is created from the samples of tweets in self-disclosed depressed users Twitter timeline from two datasets, including one of the largest benchmark datasets for user-level depression detection from Twitter. This further helps preserve the depression symptoms distribution of self-disclosed Twitter users tweets. Subsequently, we iteratively retrain our initial DSD model with the harvested data. We discuss the stopping criteria and limitations of this AL process, and elaborate the underlying constructs which play a vital role in the overall AL process. We show that we can produce a final dataset which is the largest of its kind. Furthermore, a DSD and a Depression Post Detection (DPD) model trained on it achieves significantly better accuracy than their initial version.

  Depression is a globally prevalent mental disorder with potentially severe repercussions if not addressed. Machine learning and artificial intelligence can autonomously detect depression indicators from diverse data sources. Our study proposes text summarization as a preprocessing technique to diminish the length and intricacies of input texts.
