2020 International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Mental Health and Tree Hole Rescue (AI4MH2020)

(Date: October 22, 2020) 

 

The 2020 International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Mental Health (AI4MH2020) will be held on October 22, 2020 via the Zoom teleconference. AI4MH2020 is one of the activities for WISE2020 (21st International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering) and HIS2020 (the 9th International Conference on Health Information Science)

 

AI4MH2020 is designed to promote the research and discussion on the applications of Artificial Intelligence Technology on Mental Health. We are interested in the work of Chatbots for mental health and the work of AI for suicide prevention and rescue. In particular, we are interested in the relevant work such as Tree Hole Rescue. Tree Hole Secret is based on an Indian myth. A person who has a secret should go to the forest and look for a tree with a hole. After whispering it into the hole, the secret would stay in the tree forever. Modern Tree hole is a metaphor of a social media in which the owner of the social media is dead and is used for people to express their painful and despair feeling. Many young people express their suicidal feelings and intentions through online social media, e.g., Twitter, Microblog. It provides the possibility of using Artificial Intelligence and big data technology to detect the posts where someone expressed the suicidal signal from internet social media. “Tree-hole Rescue" has provided a succesful case for it.

 

Selected papers of this workshop will be published in the Journal of AI for Medical Sciences.
