Challenge: Suicide is a leading cause of death among youth worldwide and currently only uses text-based cues to detect suicidal ideation.
Approach: They propose a deep learning based model to extract text-based features from tweets and a novel Feature Stacking approach to combine other community-based information.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms existing models on an annotated dataset of tweets using a three-phase strategy and proposes a novel Feature Stacking approach to combine other community-based information such as historical author profiling and graph embeddings.

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Suicidal ideation on social media websites is associated with higher suicide rates . suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds .
Approach: They propose a supervised method for detecting suicidal ideation in tweets using a dataset of manually annotated tweets.
Outcome: The proposed method is compared against four baselines to validate its utility.
Suicide Ideation Detection via Social and Temporal User Representations using Hyperbolic Learning (2021.naacl-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Recent studies indicate that individuals exhibiting suicidal ideation increasingly turn to social media rather than mental health practitioners.
Approach: They propose a framework leveraging a user’s emotional history and social information from a users neighborhood in a network to contextualize the interpretation of the latest tweet of a Twitter user.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods on this task, showing the benefits of both socially and personally contextualized representations.

Challenge: Recent studies indicate that individuals exhibiting suicidal ideation increasingly turn to social media rather than mental health practitioners.
Approach: They propose a time-and-phase-aware framework that adaptively learns features from a user’s historical emotional spectrum to contextualize suicidal intent.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods while outperforming existing methods.
Latent Suicide Risk Detection on Microblog via Suicide-Oriented Word Embeddings and Layered Attention (D19-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing approaches to detect suicidal ideation on social media are limited to a small group of people.
Approach: They propose to use tree holes to embed words into microblogs to strengthen the sensibility of suicide-related lexicons and to use a two-layered attention mechanism to grasp intermittently changing points from individual's open blog streams.
Outcome: The proposed approach can achieve over 91% accuracy with the use of suicide-oriented word embeddings and attention on a large-scale well-labelled suicide data set.
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)
A Time-Aware Transformer Based Model for Suicide Ideation Detection on Social Media (2020.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Suicide ideation is often linked to a history of mental depression.
Approach: They propose a time-aware transformer based model for preliminary screening of suicidal risk on social media that augments linguistic models with historical context.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms competing models and shows that it is time-aware and contextually useful for suicide risk assessment.
Leveraging Mental Health Forums for User-level Depression Detection on Social Media (2022.lrec-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing methods to detect depression on social media platforms are limited due to the vastness of social media content and the lack of linguistic features.
Approach: They propose to optimize the performance of user-level depression classification to lessen the burden on computational resources.
Outcome: The proposed system outperforms baselines across standard metrics for the task of depression detection in text.
Cross-Lingual Suicidal-Oriented Word Embedding toward Suicide Prevention (2020.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing suicide dictionaries for other languages have been limited to Korean . a model that uses social media data to identify whether a post includes suicidal ideation is useful .
Approach: They propose a model that uses existing suicide dictionaries for Korean to predict suicidal ideation . they use the existing dictionary for English and Chinese to translate a post into English and then use the separate suicide-oriented embeddings for English.
Outcome: The proposed model can detect whether a given social media post includes suicidal ideation in Korean . it uses existing suicide dictionaries for other languages to translate the post into English and Chinese, and then embeds the suicide-oriented embeddings for English and China.
