Abstract (arXiv)

This article presents a method for prompt-based mental health screening from a large and noisy dataset of social media text. Our method uses GPT 3.5. prompting to distinguish publications that may be more relevant to the task, and then uses a straightforward bag-of-words text classifier to predict actual user labels. Results are found to be on pair with a BERT mixture of experts classifier, and incurring only a fraction of its training costs.
