A Prioritization Model for Suicidality Risk Assessment

Han-Chin Shing, Philip Resnik, Douglas Oard

Keywords: Suicidality Assessment, suicide assessment, ranking problem, resource-bounded retrieval

Abstract: We reframe suicide risk assessment from social media as a ranking problem whose goal is maximizing detection of severely at-risk individuals given the time available. Building on measures developed for resource-bounded document retrieval, we introduce a well founded evaluation paradigm, and demonstrate using an expert-annotated test collection that meaningful improvements over plausible cascade model baselines can be achieved using an approach that jointly ranks individuals and their social media posts.
