Outline
Psychiatric disorders such as depression, schizophrenia and dementia are diagnosed through patients’ “language”. In order to choose accurate treatments, it is crucial to extract the characteristics of these diseases and understand them thoroughly through patients’ language. In this project, we will be utilizing a natural language processing-based approach to digitize/quantify disease characteristics. By doing so, we will expand our understanding of the diseases and eventually lead to better prevention and/or early diagnosis of psychiatric disorders.
