Pilot Task: Conversational Depression Detection via LLMs (New in 2025, Interactive Task)
Engage with LLM personas to identify depressive symptoms based on conversational exchanges. This is a pilot task. Participants will need to book a slot to interact with the LLM personas 🧵

Task 2: Contextualized Early Detection of Depression (New in 2025)
Analyze full conversational contexts to detect early signs of depression. Evaluate sequential user interactions for a holistic view of conversational dynamics. 🧵

Task 1: Search for Symptoms of Depression
Rank sentences from user writings by relevance to the 21 symptoms of the BDI-II questionnaire. Use a TREC-formatted dataset with human-assessed relevance judgments. Generate rankings for symptoms & create a valuable annotated corpus. 🧵

That’s for sure. Added😎

The author response period of @ReviewAcl is way too short (this time during a weekend). We defo can do better by extending it for more meaningful discussions.

This perhaps would mean a smaller number (e.g. 3 or 4) of longer ARR cycles but it’s still worth it #nlproc #naacl2025
