用图增强Transformer识别社交媒体中的少数群体压力,提升心理健康干预精度。
Advancing Minority Stress Detection with Transformers: Insights from the Social Media Datasets
- 用图结构融合社交关系和对话上下文,增强Transformer对压力信号的捕捉能力。
- 在两个超大规模Reddit数据集(12,645和5,789篇)上,性能优于传统方法和零样本学习。
- 适用于数字健康与公共政策,尤其适合缺乏标注数据的少数群体研究。
性少数和性别少数群体面临远高于异性恋和顺性别者的健康问题与心理障碍,主要源于少数群体压力(Meyer, 2003)。本研究首次系统评估了基于Transformer架构在在线话语中检测少数群体压力的表现。在两个最大的公开Reddit语料库(分别包含12,645和5,789条帖子)上,对比了ELECTRA、BERT、RoBERTa、BART等模型与传统机器学习基线及图增强变体。实验在五个随机种子下重复以确保稳健性。结果表明,引入图结构能持续提升仅使用Transformer的模型表现;而通过关系上下文进行有监督微调,优于零样本与少样本学习。理论分析显示,通过图增强建模社会连通性与对话上下文,可更精准识别身份隐藏、内化污名、求助信号等关键语言标记,表明图增强型Transformer为数字健康干预与公共政策提供了最可靠的基石。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Individuals from sexual and gender minority groups experience disproportionately high rates of poor health outcomes and mental disorders compared to their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts, largely as a consequence of minority stress as described by Meyer's (2003) model. This study presents the first comprehensive evaluation of transformer-based architectures for detecting minority stress in online discourse. We benchmark multiple transformer models including ELECTRA, BERT, RoBERTa, and BART against traditional machine learning baselines and graph-augmented variants. We further assess zero-shot and few-shot learning paradigms to assess their applicability on underrepresented datasets. Experiments are conducted on the two largest publicly available Reddit corpora for minority stress detection, comprising 12,645 and 5,789 posts, and are repeated over five random seeds to ensure robustness. Our results demonstrate that integrating graph structure consistently improves detection performance across transformer-only models and that supervised fine-tuning with relational context outperforms zero and few-shot approaches. Theoretical analysis reveals that modeling social connectivity and conversational context via graph augmentation sharpens the models' ability to identify key linguistic markers such as identity concealment, internalized stigma, and calls for support, suggesting that graph-enhanced transformers offer the most reliable foundation for digital health interventions and public health policy.
