 Shared task on Detecting Signs of Depression from Social Media Text at LT-EDI 2022- ACL 2022

Depression is a common mental illness that involves sadness and lack of interest in all day-to-day activities [1][2]. Detecting depression is important since it has to be observed and treated at an early stage to avoid severe consequences [3]. DepSign-LT-EDI@ACL-2022 aims to detect the signs of depression of a person from their social media postings wherein people share their feelings and emotions.  Given social media postings in English, the system should classify the signs of depression into three labels namely “not depressed”, “moderately depressed”, and “severely depressed”.

 

Paper  name format should be: TEAM_NAME@LT-EDI-ACL2022: Title of the paper. 

Example: SSN@LT-EDI-ACL2022: Detecting Signs of Depression from text
