Abstract
The surge in internet use for expression of personal thoughts and beliefs has made it increasingly feasible for the social Natural Language Processing (NLP) research community to find and validate associations between social media posts and mental health status. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of low-resourced social media data bring to fore the importance of real-time responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) models for mental health analysis in native languages. Aiming to classify research for social computing and tracking advances in the development of learning-based models, we propose a comprehensive survey on mental health analysis for social media and posit the need of analyzing low-resourced social media data for mental health. We first classify three components for computing on social media as: SM- data mining/ natural language processing on social media, IA- integrated applications with social media data and user-network modeling, and NM- user and network modeling on social networks. To this end, we posit the need of mental health analysis in different languages of East Asia (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Korean), South Asia (Hindi, Bengali, Tamil), Southeast Asia (Malay, Thai, Vietnamese), European languages (Spanish, French) and the Middle East (Arabic). Our comprehensive study examines available resources and recent advances in low-resourced languages for different aspects of SM, IA and NM to discover new frontiers as potential field of research.
期刊介绍:
The ACM Transactions on Asian and Low-Resource Language Information Processing (TALLIP) publishes high quality original archival papers and technical notes in the areas of computation and processing of information in Asian languages, low-resource languages of Africa, Australasia, Oceania and the Americas, as well as related disciplines. The subject areas covered by TALLIP include, but are not limited to:
-Computational Linguistics: including computational phonology, computational morphology, computational syntax (e.g. parsing), computational semantics, computational pragmatics, etc.
-Linguistic Resources: including computational lexicography, terminology, electronic dictionaries, cross-lingual dictionaries, electronic thesauri, etc.
-Hardware and software algorithms and tools for Asian or low-resource language processing, e.g., handwritten character recognition.
-Information Understanding: including text understanding, speech understanding, character recognition, discourse processing, dialogue systems, etc.
-Machine Translation involving Asian or low-resource languages.
-Information Retrieval: including natural language processing (NLP) for concept-based indexing, natural language query interfaces, semantic relevance judgments, etc.
-Information Extraction and Filtering: including automatic abstraction, user profiling, etc.
-Speech processing: including text-to-speech synthesis and automatic speech recognition.
-Multimedia Asian Information Processing: including speech, image, video, image/text translation, etc.
-Cross-lingual information processing involving Asian or low-resource languages.
-Papers that deal in theory, systems design, evaluation and applications in the aforesaid subjects are appropriate for TALLIP. Emphasis will be placed on the originality and the practical significance of the reported research.
