构建跨语言自杀相关术语库，助力全球心理危机干预
Lexicography Saves Lives (LSL): Automatically Translating Suicide-Related Language
- 建立伦理指南，避免翻译中文化误读与伤害
- 将英文自杀术语词典翻译成200种语言并人工评估
- 开源网站支持社区共建，推动全球心理健康资源平等
近年来，针对自杀风险、意图或意念的识别与预测研究显著增加。然而，现有工作大多聚焦英语及西方文化背景，而自杀是全球性问题，联合国可持续发展目标要求到2030年降低自杀率。以往研究常依赖英文自杀词典进行跨语言翻译，但易引发语言误表等伦理问题，导致特定文化中自杀话语失真。本文提出「词汇学拯救生命计划」，作出三项贡献：首先，梳理伦理考量并提供减轻伤害的指导原则；其次，将现有自杀意念词典翻译为200种语言，并对部分译本开展人工评估；最后，推出公开网站，提供资源访问并鼓励社区参与。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent years have seen a marked increase in research that aims to identify or predict risk, intention or ideation of suicide. The majority of new tasks, datasets, language models and other resources focus on English and on suicide in the context of Western culture. However, suicide is global issue and reducing suicide rate by 2030 is one of the key goals of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Previous work has used English dictionaries related to suicide to translate into different target languages due to lack of other available resources. Naturally, this leads to a variety of ethical tensions (e.g.: linguistic misrepresentation), where discourse around suicide is not present in a particular culture or country. In this work, we introduce the 'Lexicography Saves Lives Project' to address this issue and make three distinct contributions. First, we outline ethical consideration and provide overview guidelines to mitigate harm in developing suicide-related resources. Next, we translate an existing dictionary related to suicidal ideation into 200 different languages and conduct human evaluations on a subset of translated dictionaries. Finally, we introduce a public website to make our resources available and enable community participation.
