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.
