Discovering Causality in Suicide Notes Using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
An important question is how to determine if a person is exhibiting suicidal tendencies in behavior, speech, or writing. This paper demonstrates a method of analyzing written material to determine whether or not a person is suicidal or not. The method involves an analysis of word frequencies that are then translated into a fuzzy cognitive map that will be able to determine if the word frequency patterns are showing signs of suicidal tendencies. The method could have significant potential in suicide prevention as well as in other forms of sociological behavior studies that might exhibit their own identifying patterns.

Creating a Suicide Note Analysis Model Using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
Suicide has become a significantly prominent issue because high frequencies of occurrences make it one of the top three causes of death for young people in the United States. To prevent suicide attempts, it is important to identify suicidal tendencies in the behavior, speech, or writing of an individual as early as possible. This paper demonstrates one technique of analyzing written material to...
متن کاملZ-Cognitive Map: An Integrated Cognitive Maps and Z-Numbers Approach under Cognitive Information
Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...
متن کاملMutating HIV Protease Protein Using Ant Colony Optimization and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps: Drug Susceptibility Analysis
Understanding the dynamics of the resistance mechanisms in HIV proteins mutations is a key for optimizing the use of existing antiviral drugs and developing new ones. Several statistical and machine learning techniques have been proposed for predicting the resistance of a mutation to a certain drug using its genotype information. However, the knowledge publicly available for this kind of proces...
متن کاملRule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps: Fuzzy Causal Relations
Rule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (RBFCM) are proposed as an evolution of Fuzzy Causal Maps (FCM) that allow a more complete representation of cognition, since relations other than monotonic causality are made possible. Their structure is based on traditional fuzzy systems with feedback. The main problem to solve while trying to implement a RBFCM is the causal relation itself, since traditional f...
متن کاملRule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps – A Comparative Study
This paper focus on the comparison between Rule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. The paper shows FCM limitations to represent nonmonotonic non-symmetric causal relations, presents results that exhibit the stability of RBFCM in systems where FCM is not stable due to its non-fuzzy inherent nature and presents RBFCM potential to model qualitative real-world dynamic systems.
