From explainable to interpretable deep learning for natural language processing in healthcare: How far from reality?

Deep learning (DL) has substantially enhanced natural language processing (NLP) in healthcare research. However, the increasing complexity of DL-based NLP necessitates transparent model interpretability, or at least explainability, for reliable decision-making. This work presents a thorough scoping review of explainable and interpretable DL in healthcare NLP.

Hierarchical Convolutional Attention Network for Depression Detection on Social Media and Its Impact During Pandemic.

People across the globe have felt and are still going through the impact of COVID-19. Some of them share their feelings and suffering online via different online social media networks such as Twitter. Due to strict restrictions to reduce the spread of the novel virus, many people are forced to stay at home, which significantly impacts people's mental health.

Explainable depression detection with multi-aspect features using a hybrid deep learning model on social media.

The ability to explain why the model produced results in such a way is an important problem, especially in the medical domain. Model explainability is important for building trust by providing insight into the model prediction. However, most existing machine learning methods provide no explainability, which is worrying.

Detecting Community Depression Dynamics Due to COVID-19 Pandemic in Australia.

The recent Coronavirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented impact across the globe. We have also witnessed millions of people with increased mental health issues, such as depression, stress, worry, fear, disgust, sadness, and anxiety, which have become one of the major public health concerns during this severe health crisis. Depression can cause serious emotional, behavioral, and physical health problems with significant consequences, both personal and social costs included.
