Are LLMs effective psychological assessors? Leveraging adaptive RAG for interpretable mental health screening through psychometric practice (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | standardized questionnaires are essential tools for mental health screening, but computational approaches bypass these tools in favor of black-box classification. |
| Approach: | They propose a questionnaire-guided screening framework that bridges psychological practice and computational methods through adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Generation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework matches or outperforms state-of-the-art performance on Reddit-based benchmarks and extends to self-harm screening. |
PersonalityDBench: A Dataset for Personality Disorders - from Modeling to Controlled Generation (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Personality disorders are chronic, rigid patterns of thinking, behavior, and emotions that deviate from cultural norms and persist in social settings. |
| Approach: | They propose a large-scale, clinically grounded dataset that supports multidimensional study of personality pathology and standardized evaluation of LLM steering toward clinically ground behavioral targets. |
| Outcome: | The PersonalityDBench dataset supports multidimensional study of personality pathology and evaluation of LLM steering toward clinically grounded behavioral targets. |

| Challenge: | Existing NLP tools are fragmented, closed-source, or difficult to use . a single sentence can convey emotion, social dynamics, cognitive states, and implicit attitudes . |
| Approach: | They propose an open-source python TOolkit for NLP in clinical psychology. |
| Outcome: | The TOolkit bridges traditional psycholinguistic analysis and modern NLP . it integrates interpretable lexical features with state-of-the-art lightweight transformer models . the toolkit is released under an open-source license and is evaluated through multiple MH–related datasets. |
