Automatic Triage of Mental Health Forum Posts
Benjamin Shickel, Parisa Rashidi · 2016
As part of the 2016 Computational Linguistics and Clinical Psychology (CLPsych) shared task, participants were asked to construct systems to automatically classify mental health forum posts into four categories, representing how urgently posts require moderator attention.This paper details the system implementation from the University of Florida, in which we compare several distinct models and show that best performance is achieved with domain-specific preprocessing, n-gram feature extraction, and cross-validated linear models.
