Abstract

In this paper, we present a core component of the VisIA project: a conversational agent designed to detect suicide risk factors during real-time chat interactions. By adhering to clinical guidelines and the state-of-the-art theories of suicide, the agent aims to provide a scalable and effective approach to identifying individuals at risk. Preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility and potential of conversational agents in enhancing suicide risk detection.
