Article Abstract

Housing is an environmental social determinant of health that is linked to mortality and clinical outcomes. We developed a lexicon of housing-related concepts and rule-based natural language processing methods for identifying these housing-related concepts within clinical text. We piloted our methods on several test cohorts: a synthetic cohort generated by ChatGPT for initial infrastructure testing, a cohort with substance use disorders (SUD), and a cohort diagnosed with problems related to housing and economic circumstances (HEC). Our methods successfully identified housing concepts in our ChatGPT notes (recall = 1.0, precision = 1.0), our SUD population (recall = 0.9798, precision = 0.9898), and our HEC population (recall = N/A, precision = 0.9160).

Integrating clinical anxiety scales with pre-trained language models for anxiety recognition on social media.

Health Inf Sci Syst

Leveraging natural language processing to identify anxiety states from social media has been widely studied. However, existing research lacks deep user-level semantic modeling and effective anxiety feature extraction. Additionally, the absence of clinical domain knowledge in current models limits their interpretability and medical relevance.

August 2025

Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology, Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa; and Department of Rehabilitative and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Fort Hare, East London.

Background: The people of the Pedi culture place great value on, and take pride in, adhering to their culture, as reflected in the manner in which they communicate verbally and non-verbally. However, little is documented about the ways in which verbal and non-verbal language is used socially by the younger generations in the Pedi culture.

Objectives: This article examines how verbal and non-verbal social language skills and functions are used by the younger generations in Pedi families.

Purpose: Depression among college students is a growing concern that negatively affects academic performance, emotional well-being, and career planning. Existing diagnostic methods are often slow, subjective, and inaccessible, underscoring the need for automated systems that can detect depressive symptoms through digital behavior, particularly on social media platforms.

Method: This study proposes a novel natural language processing (NLP) framework that combines a RoBERTa-based Transformer with gated recurrent unit (GRU) layers and multimodal embeddings.

Urban planning in the era of large language models.

Nat Comput Sci

September 2025

Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

City plans are the product of integrating human creativity with emerging technologies, which continuously evolve and reshape urban morphology and environments. Here we argue that large language models hold large untapped potential in addressing the growing complexities of urban planning and enabling a more holistic, innovative and responsive approach to city design. By harnessing their advanced generation and simulation capabilities, large language models can contribute as an intelligent assistant for human planners in synthesizing conceptual ideas, generating urban designs and evaluating the outcomes of planning efforts.
