Abstract

The 2016 CLPsych Shared Task is centered on the automatic triage of posts from a mental health forum, au.reachout.com. In this paper, we describe our method for this shared task. We used four different groups of features. These features are designed to capture stylistic and word patterns, together with psychological insights based on the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) word list. We used a multinomial naive Bayes classifier as our base system. We were able to boost the accuracy of our approach by extending the number of training samples using a semi-supervised approach, labeling some of the unlabeled data and extending the number training samples.
