    Suicidal behavior is a global cause of life-threatening injury and most of the time, death. Mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar are prevalent among the youth in recent decades. Social media are popular platforms for individuals to post their thoughts and feelings on. Extracting people’s sentiments and feelings from such online platforms would help detect mental disorders of the users to treat them before it becomes too late. This thesis investigates the use of multi-task learning systems and single-task learning techniques to estimate behaviors and mental states for early diagnosis. I used data mined from Reddit, one of the popular social media platforms that provides anonymity. Anonymity increases the chances of individuals sharing what they truly feel in their real life. The obtained results by the proposed approaches open new doors to the understanding of how multi-task systems can increase the performance of text classification problems such as depression detection, emotion detection, and sentiment analysis, trained together in a multi-task learning network when compared to their training in isolation in a single-task learning network. We used the SWMH dataset, already labeled by 5 different depression labels (depression, anxiety, suicide, bipolar, and off my chest) and then added emotion and polarity labels to it and made it publicly available for researchers in the literature. The obtained results in this study are also comparable to other approaches in the field.

    Sarcasm detection in text using deep neural networks

    Sarcasm is a form of irony which is generally used in expressing negative opinions. Sarcasm poses a linguistic challenge due to its figurative nature where intended meaning contradicts with literal interpretation. Sarcasm is widely used in our Daily lives and also upon many social platforms. Detecting sarcasm in written text is a challenging process that has captured the interest of many researchers. Hence, sarcasm has become a crucial task in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. This thesis study explores the concept of sarcasm, and its importance on existing sarcasm research. The automatic process of sarcasm detection involves dataset selection, preprocessing steps, and selecting proper approaches, including rule-based methods, Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) and Transformer architectures. This study surveys previous research on sarcasm detection, specifically examining the dataset, methodology and performance. This thesis study attempts to automatically detect sarcasm by utilizing various ML, DL and transformer and hybrid neural network architectures on news headlines datasets. To overcome the dataset and performance limitations on existing approaches, we propose various methodologies to detect sarcastic text mostly focusing on DL, hybrid neural networks and transformer architectures. We combine appropriate architectures with several hand-crafted features and utilizing different word embedding models. To further extend the performance of our proposed methods and also enhance the existing news headlines dataset, we proposed several modifications. We contribute to the existing dataset by applying augmentation to increase the dataset size to help enhance the performance of the proposed models with overcoming dataset limitations. Our methodologies correctly identify sarcasm with 97.68% F1 score.
