IndicTalk: A Large-Scale Persona-Based Multilingual Conversational Corpus for Indic Languages

arXiv:2607. 23242v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed conversational AI, yet high-quality multilingual code-mixed dialogue resources remain scarce, particularly for Indic languages where speakers naturally alternate between English and their native language in both native-script and Romanized forms.

Large Language Models in Mental Health: A Systematic Review of Applications, Innovations, and Ethical Challenges

The paper reviews how large language models are applied in mental health, covering areas such as social media analysis, clinical conversational agents, therapy support tools, prompt engineering, and multimodal learning. It synthesizes interdisciplinary studies that use social media posts, electronic medical records, and multimodal inputs to detect depression, assess suicide risk, provide personalized therapy, and generate psychoeducational content. The review also discusses advances in model interpretability, annotation strategies, multimodal fusion techniques, and highlights ethical, sociotechnical, and regulatory challenges while proposing frameworks for safe, equitable, and accountable deployment.

Cross-Lingual Clinical Annotation Projection as Constrained Text Generation: A Six-Language Study

The study investigates whether cross‑lingual clinical annotation can be treated as a constrained text‑generation task that preserves the original text while inserting entity tags. Using a workflow that embeds tags directly into immutable target‑language text and then validates them deterministically, the authors compare this approach to supervised candidate‑span projection and hybrid ML‑LLM refinement across six languages. Results show that direct LLM projection, particularly with GLM 5.2 and Gemma4:31B, achieves the highest strict F1 scores, surpassing previous state‑of‑the‑art by up to 0.15 and producing over 55,000 grounded mentions with accurate offsets.

Cross-Lingual Clinical Annotation Projection as Constrained Text Generation: A Six-Language Study

The study investigates whether cross‑lingual clinical annotation projection can be treated as a constrained text‑generation task that preserves the original text while inserting entity tags. Using a workflow that embeds tags directly into immutable target‑language text and then validates them deterministically, the authors evaluated this approach against supervised candidate‑span projection and hybrid ML‑LLM refinement across six languages. Results show that direct LLM projection, particularly with GLM 5.2 and Gemma4:31B, achieves the highest strict F1 scores (up to 0.9201) and outperforms previous methods by 0.0564–0.1512, producing over 55,000 grounded mentions with accurate offsets.

HerHealthEval: Evaluating Multilingual and Register-Sensitive Understanding of Women's Health Communication

HerHealthEval is a controlled evaluation framework that tests multilingual understanding of women's-health communication across English, French, and Modern Standard Arabic. It provides six communicative forms—canonical, clinical, layperson, indirect or hedged, emotionally concerned, and deliberately under-specified—each conveying the same clinical concern except the under-specified form omits details to assess clarification needs. The study evaluates multilingual instruction models and QLoRA-adapted variants on tasks such as concern classification, risk calibration, clarification behavior, parse compliance, and cross-form consistency, revealing that high aggregate accuracy can mask safety-relevant failures and that language-invariant risk labels improve performance.

From Pattern Recognizers to Personalized Companions: A Survey of Large Language Models in Mental Health

The article surveys how large language models (LLMs) are being applied to mental health, outlining a three‑phase evolution: Phase I uses LLMs as passive information tools and pattern recognizers for assessment; Phase II employs them as empathetic conversationalists for stateless, in‑the‑moment interactions; Phase III aims to create longitudinal, personalized companions that act as stateful cognitive agents. It systematically reviews core technologies, agent architectures (Profile, Memory, Reasoning, Planning), and the datasets and benchmarks that support this progression, offering a coherent narrative and roadmap for future research. The survey also provides a curated resource list at https://github.com/Emo-gml/Awesome-Mental-Health-LLMs.
