• Abstract summary: This paper is a study done on suicidal risk assessments using Reddit data. We have demonstrated that using smaller language models, i.e., less than 500M parameters, can also be effective. We propose Su-RoBERTa, a fine-tuned RoBERTa on suicide risk prediction task.

• Abstract: In recent times, more and more people are posting about their mental states across various social media platforms. Leveraging this data, AI-based systems can be developed that help in assessing the mental health of individuals, such as suicide risk. This paper is a study done on suicidal risk assessments using Reddit data leveraging Base language models to identify patterns from social media posts. We have demonstrated that using smaller language models, i.e., less than 500M parameters, can also be effective in contrast to LLMs with greater than 500M parameters. We propose Su-RoBERTa, a fine-tuned RoBERTa on suicide risk prediction task that utilized both the labeled and unlabeled Reddit data and tackled class imbalance by data augmentation using GPT-2 model. Our Su-RoBERTa model attained a 69.84% weighted F1 score during the Final evaluation. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of Base language models for the analysis of the risk factors related to mental health with an efficient computation pipeline

  This paper explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically detect suicidal content in text-based social media posts. We develop an ensemble approach involving prompting with Qwen2-72B-Instruct, and using fine-tuned models such as Llama3-8B, Llama3.1-8B, and Gemma2-9B. Experimental results show that the ensemble model significantly improves the detection accuracy, by 5% points compared with the individual models.

  Pre-trained Language models (PLMs) have been acknowledged to contain harmful information, such as social biases. We propose sc Social Bias Neurons to accurately pinpoint units (i.e., neurons) in a language model that can be attributed to undesirable behavior, such as social bias. As measured by prior metrics from StereoSet, our model achieves a higher degree of fairness while maintaining language modeling ability with low cost.

  This study presents a Chinese social media dataset designed for fine-grained suicide risk classification. Seven pre-trained models were evaluated in two tasks: high and low suicide risk, and fine-grained suicide risk classification on a level of 0 to 10. Deep learning models show good performance in distinguishing between high and low suicide risk, with the best model achieving an F1 score of 88.39%.
