Archetypes and Entropy: Theory-Driven Extraction of Evidence for Suicide Risk
Archetypes and Entropy: Theory-Driven Extraction of Evidence for Suicide Risk

We combined theory-driven suicidal archetypes with language models and relative entropy to identify suicide risk in text. The combined approach outperformed individual methods, achieving high accuracy in shared task evaluations. Our findings suggest that integrating theoretical and data-driven methods is crucial for mental health analysis, outperforming prompt-based approaches.

ALBA: Adaptive Language-Based Assessments for Mental Health
ALBA: Adaptive Language-Based Assessments for Mental Health

This study introduces Adaptive Language-Based Assessment (ALBA) for mental health, using limited language responses to adaptively order questions and assess psychological traits. Two methods, ALIRT and Actor-Critic, outperformed non-adaptive baselines. ALIRT proved most effective, achieving high accuracy with fewer questions, demonstrating that adaptive assessments can maintain validity with smaller language samples and lower computational costs.
