Article Synopsis
- Large language models can capture changes in how words are understood in people with mental disorders by analyzing their semantic space, particularly looking at how word meanings relate.
- Recent studies show a 'shrinking' semantic space in psychosis, where words tend to be more similar to each other in meaning.
- In a study comparing patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and major depression to healthy controls, both clinical groups exhibited more restricted ways of navigating meaning, indicating changes in how they connect ideas compared to those without mental health issues.
