| Abstract | The objective of this project is to develop a chatbot which uses a neural network to detect phrases indicating suicidal ideation, self-harm, anxiety, or depression within online platforms. Upon detection, the chatbot (EzerBot) will engage the user and provide them with mental health resources in their vicinity. EzerBot serves as a tool for mental health support and a preventative measure for self-inflicted injury or suicide. |
