Abstract:Exploring the antecedents of suicide risk and identifying and predicting suicide risk are challenging issues in the field of mental health. This paper summarizes the breakthroughs made by data-driven machine learning in addressing this problem as compared to theory-driven traditional methods. Machine learning utilizes advanced modeling techniques to comprehensively explore the antecedents of suicide risk and their relative importance. Moreover, it can handle complex and diverse data, enabling better longitudinal design and real-time monitoring of suicide risk. Consequently, this significantly improves the accuracy of suicide risk identification and prediction. This paper also discusses potential limitations of machine learning methods and proposes solutions and future directions, providing valuable insights for both research and practical applications.
