AI system uses Qwen2.5-Instruct and QLoRA for suicide risk assessment

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel system for assessing suicide risk on social media, utilizing multi-task learning with Qwen2.5-Instruct models fine-tuned via QLoRA. The system addresses three key tasks: classifying risk levels, extracting supporting evidence, and identifying risk and protective factors. By jointly training across tasks and tailoring aggregation strategies, the system achieved a composite score of 0.7738 in the IEEE BigData 2026 Cup. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates a novel application of LLMs and fine-tuning techniques for sensitive social media analysis, potentially improving mental health support tools.

    Explainable Suicide Risk Assessment on Social Media with Multi-Task QLoRA

    arXiv:2610.00610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Explainable suicide-risk assessment requires models not only to estimate risk severity, but also to identify supporting language and the risk and protective factors expressed in a post. We present our system for the IEEE BigData 2…
