Title
Transition to Adulthood for Young People with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities: Emotion Detection and Topic Modeling
Abstract
Transition to Adulthood is an essential life stage for many families. The prior research has shown that young people with intellectual or development disabilities (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 transition to adulthood. The findings showed that NLP methods can be very useful for psychologists to analyze emotions, conduct cross-case analysis, and summarize key topics from conversational data. Our Python code is available at https://github.com/mlaric heva/emotion_topic_modeling.
