• Abstract summary: This paper describes our participation in the MentalRiskES task at IberLEF 2023. The task involved predicting the likelihood of an individual experiencing depression based on their social media activity. The dataset consisted of conversations from 175 Telegram users, each labeled according to their evidence of suffering from the disorder.

• Abstract: This paper describes our participation in the MentalRiskES task at IberLEF 2023. The task involved predicting the likelihood of an individual experiencing depression based on their social media activity. The dataset consisted of conversations from 175 Telegram users, each labeled according to their evidence of suffering from the disorder. We used a combination of traditional machine learning and deep learning techniques to solve four predictive subtasks: binary classification, simple regression, multiclass classification, and multi-output regression. We approached this by training a model to solve the multi-output regression case and then transforming the predictions to work for the other three subtasks. We compare the performance of two modeling approaches: fine-tuning a BERT-based model directly for the task or using its embeddings as inputs to a linear regressor, with the latter yielding better results. The code to reproduce our results can be found at: https://github.com/simonsanvil/EarlyDepression-MentalRiskES

  We present working notes for DS@GT team in the eRisk 2024 for Tasks 1 and 3. We propose a ranking system for Task 1 that predicts symptoms of depression based on the Depression Beck Inventory (BDI-II) questionnaire. For Task 3, we use embeddings from BERT to predict the severity of eating disorder symptoms based on user post history.

• Generalized Regression with Conditional GANs [2.4171019220503402]
  We propose to learn a prediction function whose outputs, when paired with the corresponding inputs, are indistinguishable from feature-label pairs in the training dataset. We show that this approach to regression makes fewer assumptions on the distribution of the data we are fitting to and, therefore, has better representation capabilities.

  We propose auxiliary tasks that exploit the alignment between the original and corrected sentences. We formulate each task as a sequence-to-sequence problem and perform multi-task training. We find that the order of datasets used for training and even individual instances within a dataset may have important effects on the final performance.

Our model also achieve strong results at in-context learning, outperforming 175B GPT-3 on zero-shot SuperGLUE and tripling the performance of T5-XXL on one-shot summarization.

  We implement a two-step approach to multi-omic logistic regression in which variable selection is performed on each layer separately. Our approach should be preferred if the goal is to select as many relevant predictors as possible. Our proposed approach allows us to identify features that characterise cardiometabolic syndrome at the molecular level.

  We build dialogue models that are dynamically aware of what utterances or tokens are dull without any feature-engineering. The first model, MinAvgOut, directly maximizes the diversity score through the output distributions of each batch. The second model, Label Fine-Tuning (LFT), prepends to the source sequence a label continuously scaled by the diversity score to control the diversity level. The third model, RL, adopts Reinforcement Learning and treats the diversity score as a reward signal.
