PsyGUARD: An Automated System for Suicide Detection and Risk Assessment in Psychological Counseling (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing systems for fine-grained suicide detection and risk assessment are lacking . a lack of domain-specific systems for this task poses a challenge to automated crisis intervention aimed at suicide prevention. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a fine-grained suicide detection system to assess risk in counseling . they develop a taxonomy for detecting suicide ideation and a large-scale dataset . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system detects suicidal ideation and assesses risk in counseling . it can provide safe, helpful, and tailored responses for further assessment . |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing domain-specific models for detecting suicide are lacking in low-resource languages. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that combines pre-trained language models with a fixed set of suicidal cues and a two-stage fine-tuning process to detect SI. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms baseline models even early on in the conversation and performs well across genders and age groups. |

RISE: Robust Early-exiting Internal Classifiers for Suicide Risk Evaluation (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing systems for risk assessment are prone to incorrectly predicting risk severity and have no early detection mechanisms. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel mechanism for accurate early detection of suicide risk by ensembling Hyperbolic Internal Classifiers equipped with an abstention mechanism and early exit inference capabilities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model abstains from 84% incorrect predictions on Reddit data while out-predicting state of the art models upto 3.5x earlier. |
Weakly-Supervised Methods for Suicide Risk Assessment: Role of Related Domains (2021.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Among social media platforms, Reddit has emerged as the most promising one due to its anonymity and its focus on topic-based communities (subreddits) . a challenge for previous work on suicide risk assessment has been the small amount of labeled data. |
| Approach: | They propose to use social media to collect user data from r/SuicideWatch subreddit and annotate it with user-level suicide risk: no-risk, low-risk and high-risk. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves by using pseudo-labeling based on related issues around mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression) |
