Abstract

The surge in mental health issues among adolescents in the digital age, coupled with a lack of studies on individuals unaware of their mental status, propels our research. We emphasize the need for large-scale screening through natural language processing and machine learning, given the limitations of conventional methods in understanding the intricacies of online interactions.

Our project addresses the challenge of understanding adolescents' mental states by using machine learning to scrutinize text-based conversations on social media platforms. Focused on the critical adolescence period, our research captures intricacies overlooked by conventional methods. Integrating the AI model into a website enables real-time data input, providing dynamic analysis reflecting current trends.

Our project develops a software program using machine learning algorithms to train an AI model and construct a website for real-time analysis of text-based conversations among adolescents.
