• Abstract: Textual emotional intelligence is playing a ubiquitously important role in leveraging human emotions on social media platforms. Social media platforms are privileged with emotional content and are leveraged for various purposes like opinion mining, emotion mining, and sentiment analysis. This data analysis is also levered for the prevention of online bullying, suicide prevention, and depression detection among social media users. In this article, we have designed an automatic depression detection of online social media users by analyzing their social media behavior. The designed depression detection classification can be effectively used to mine user's social media interactions and one can determine whether a social media user is suffering from depression or not. The underlying classifier is made using state-of-art technology in emotional artificial intelligence which includes LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) and other machine learning classifiers. The highest accuracy of the classifier is around 70% of LSTM and for SVM the highest accuracy is 81.79%. We trained the classifier on the datasets that are widely used in literature for emotion mining tasks. A confusion matrix of results is also given.

  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 run a large-scale survey at an online newspaper to gather daily self-reports of affective states from its users. We compare these with aggregated results of sentiment analysis of user discussions on the same online platform. For both platforms, we find strong correlations between text analysis results and levels of self-reported emotions.
