Text Analytics for Predicting Crisis Events in Veterans

Student: Wylie Frydrychowicz
Mentor: Dr. Praveen Madiraju

Project Description:

Veterans can have a hard time returning to civilized life. They can end up in various crises such as arrest, hospitalization, relapse, and angry outbursts.

Project Goal:

Using data we collect from mobile applications that we built and continue to build, we want to create a machine learning algorithm that uses NLP (Natural Language Processing) to predict crisis events in veterans.

Tentative Milestones:

• Read research articles about:
  • Text/group messaging systems
  • Natural language processing
• Gather:
  • Survey data
  • Feedback data
  • Text/group messaging data
• Implement:
  • Text/group messaging system
  • Machine learning algorithm that uses NLP
