• Abstract: Early detection of suicide risk from social media text is crucial for timely intervention. While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising capabilities in this domain, challenges remain in terms of interpretability and computational efficiency. This paper introduces Evidence-Driven LLM (ED-LLM), a novel approach for clinical marker extraction and suicide risk classification. ED-LLM employs a multi-task learning framework, jointly training a Mistral-7B based model to identify clinical marker spans and classify suicide risk levels. This evidence-driven strategy enhances interpretability by explicitly highlighting textual evidence supporting risk assessments. Evaluated on the CLPsych datasets, ED-LLM demonstrates competitive performance in risk classification and superior capability in clinical marker span identification compared to baselines including fine-tuned LLMs, traditional machine learning, and prompt-based methods. The results highlight the effectiveness of multi-task learning for interpretable and efficient LLM-based suicide risk assessment, paving the way for clinically relevant applications.

  Substance use disorder (SUD) poses a major concern due to its detrimental effects on health and society. Existing diagnostic coding systems like the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) lack granularity for certain diagnoses. Traditional natural language processing (NLP) methods face limitations in accurately parsing such diverse clinical language. This study investigates the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) for extracting severity-related information for various SUD diagnoses from clinical notes.
