Curating a Large-Scale Motivational Interviewing Dataset Using Peer Support Forums (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing therapeutic chatbots lack large-scale conversations between clients and trained counselors . prior work has found that social media platforms such as Reddit are used to vent distress and peers are seen to actively respond to such posts. |
| Approach: | They propose to use peer support platforms to scrape conversational data from Reddit to determine whether counselors' responses align with real therapeutic conversations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieved 97% coverage out of 17.3K responses, meaning that out of 16.8K responses labeled with a moderate agreement. |
