Approaches to traditional travel diary construction rely on tourist participation and manual recording; hence, they are not only time-consuming but also limited in the scale number of samples. Online social network platforms have been used as alternative data sources for capturing movements patterns tourists at a large scale. However, fail provide detailed contextual information activities further analysis. In this paper, we present new approach based venue check-in available mobile media...
Mental health predictive systems typically model language as if from a single context (e.g. Twitter posts, status updates, or forum posts) and often limited to level of analysis either the message-level user-level). Here, we bring these pieces together explore use open-vocabulary (BERT embeddings, topics) theoretical features (emotional expression lexica, personality) for task suicide risk assessment on support forums (the CLPsych-2019 Shared Task). We used dual based approaches (modeling...
