• 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

  Detection of depression in social media posts is crucial due to the increasing prevalence of mental health issues. Traditional machine learning algorithms often fail to capture intricate textual patterns, limiting their effectiveness in identifying depression. This research proposes a neural network architecture leveraging transformer-based models combined with metadata and linguistic markers.

• 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 find that the order of datasets used for training and even individual instances within a dataset may have important effects on the final performance.

  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.
