Voices Between Lines: Interpretable Labeling of Mental Health Minority Topics with Seed Guidance and LLMs
摘要
We present a pipeline that automatically assigns concise, human-readable labels to under-represented mental-health topics discovered by a seed-guided nonnegative matrix factorization model. Given each topic’s word distribution, we rank documents via Jensen–Shannon divergence, extract anchored n-gram candidates, score them on informativeness, phraseness, and seed overlap, and finally ask a large language model (LLM) to choose and justify a label. The approach amplifies minority voices while remaining fully automatic and language-agnostic. We demonstrate its efficacy on Finnish-language online discussion of YouTuber vlogs containing mental health minority themes. In two human evaluations of label quality, our model attains high expert scores and outperforms a baseline approach.
