Previous work in NLP for clinical psychology has typically used this type of attention mechanism to create a representation of social media users: a collection of online posts from each user is fed to the model and the inter-document attention (also referred to as user-level attention) creates a representation of the user through a weighted average of the representations of their online posts, with the most informative posts are assigned higher weights. In this paper, we propose a quantitative approach, specifically focused on the user-level (inter-document) attention mechanism in a binary classification task of detection of a specific mental health issue, anorexia. In this work, we proposed a quantitative approach to validate the explainability of the user-level attention mechanism for the task of the detection of anorexia in social media users based on their online posts. ./cache/cord-026948-jl3lj7yh.txt ./txt/cord-026948-jl3lj7yh.txt
