arXiv:2606. 28334v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and social media data have led to growing optimism about the ability to detect suicide risk at scale.
A new language‑processing tool has been developed to estimate suicide risk from natural language. By analyzing text, the tool can identify individuals at the highest risk. This capability could enable faster and more targeted interventions.

The paper presents a system for the IEEE BigData 2026 Cup on Explainable Suicide Risk Assessment on Social Media. It tackles three tasks—risk-level classification, evidence phrase extraction, and multi-label factor identification—using Qwen2.5-Instruct models adapted with quantized low-rank adaptation (QLoRA) and an answer-masked causal language-model objective. The final system achieved a composite score of 0.7738, with 0.8089 on Task 1 and 0.6919 on Task 2, demonstrating that task‑specific training and tailored aggregation improve performance across the three tasks.

arXiv:2608. 05183v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This dissertation analysed and discussed the differences in linguistic characteristics between pre-mortem and post-mortem social media content, and reported machine learning (ML) classifiers that achieved high performance in automatically detecting deaths of social networking site users from posts associated with their profiles.

arXiv:2606. 10380v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world crisis intervention is inherently conversational, yet existing research largely focuses on static texts.
The study evaluates large language models for assessing suicide risk in Arabic crisis helpline calls, comparing Arabic and English models. Using de‑identified transcripts from Lebanon’s National Lifeline, the researchers fine‑tuned instruction‑tuned LLMs and transformer encoders, achieving a macro‑F1 of 81.19 and ROC‑AUC of 90.61 for high‑risk calls in Arabic, and 85.00/92.59 in English. The results show that high‑risk calls are more distinguishable than at‑risk calls, and translating to English does not degrade performance, indicating potential for operator‑facing tools.
arXiv:2606. 04867v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As AI companion platforms such as Replika and Character.
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.
