A Machine Learning Approach for Predicting Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Young Adults

Artificial intelligence techniques were explored to assess the ability to anticipate self-harming behaviour in the mental health context using a database collected by an app previously designed to record the emotional states and activities of a group of subjects exhibiting self-harm. Specifically, t...
