LLM-based split learning enables privacy-preserving mental health data analysis

Researchers have developed a novel schema-aware split learning framework designed to enable privacy-preserving analysis of mental health survey data across different institutions. This approach utilizes a large language model, specifically LLaMA-3.2-3B-Instruct, as a shared semantic encoder to harmonize disparate survey schemas. The framework partitions the LLM, allowing clients to retain raw data locally while offloading intensive computation to a server, thereby minimizing client-side processing and ensuring data privacy. The proposed method demonstrates strong performance, achieving an average ANLS of 0.708 with limited training data and outperforming federated learning in most settings. AI

IMPACT This research could enable more effective collaborative analysis of sensitive mental health data across institutions, potentially leading to better predictive models and interventions.
