论文摘要
过渡到成年是许多家庭的重要生活阶段。先前的研究表明，具有智力或发展的年轻人（IDD）比同龄人面临的挑战更多。这项研究是为了探索如何使用自然语言处理（NLP）方法，尤其是无监督的机器学习，以帮助心理学家分析情绪和情感，并使用主题建模来确定IDD及其家人及其家人的常见问题和挑战。此外，将结果与从没有IDD的年轻人那里获得的结果进行了比较。研究结果表明，NLP方法对于心理学家分析情绪，进行跨案例分析并从对话数据中汇总关键主题非常有用。我们的Python代码可从https://github.com/mlaricheva/emotion_topic_modeling获得。
Transition to Adulthood is an essential life stage for many families. The prior research has shown that young people with intellectual or development disabil-ities (IDD) have more challenges than their peers. This study is to explore how to use natural language processing (NLP) methods, especially unsupervised machine learning, to assist psychologists to analyze emotions and sentiments and to use topic modeling to identify common issues and challenges that young people with IDD and their families have. Additionally, the results were compared to those obtained from young people without IDD who were in tran-sition to adulthood. The findings showed that NLP methods can be very useful for psychologists to analyze emotions, conduct cross-case analysis, and sum-marize key topics from conversational data.
