## Abstract (arXiv)

Loneliness does not only have emotional implications on a person but also on his/her well-being. The study of loneliness has been challenging and largely inconclusive in findings because of the several factors that might correlate to the phenomenon. We present one approach to predicting this event by discovering patterns of language associated with loneliness. Our results show insights and promising directions for mining text from instant messaging to predict loneliness.
