i am participating in a data science competition where i have to submit this report , Midpoint submission template
What question, topic, or area related to youth mental health are you planning to explore? How did you decide on this topic? Please mention any references you considered, including research studies, review articles, published theories, etc.
What methods have you experimented with so far (e.g., data preprocessing, key features, algorithms, other novel aspects of your solution)? Why did you decide to try these methods?
What other methods are you planning to test and why?
What variables are you planning to explore extracting from the narratives and why? Do you have any findings so far?
Do you have any useful tables, charts, graphs, or visualizations from the process so far (e.g., exploring the data, testing different features, summarizing model performance, etc.)?
in template , which will be evaluated with Technical novelty (30%)

Does the submission demonstrate creative, cutting-edge, or innovative techniques for applying machine learning to this dataset?

, the given dataset has these fields , Individual identifier

uid (str): Unique ID for each individual
Narratives

NarrativeLE (str): A summary of the information in the law enforcement (LE) report
NarrativeCME (str): A summary of the information in the coroner/medical examiner (CME) report
Narratives are written by state-level abstractors to summarize key information found in law enforcement reports (LE) and coroner/medical examiner reports (CME). Abstractors follow specific instructions from the NVDRS coding manual to generate the narratives (page 24). The coding manual specifies what should be included, what shouldn't be included, and how to handle multiple sources.

Other free text fields

For each of the free text fields below, there are separate columns for information from the law enforcement (LE) and coroner/medical examiner (CME) reports. E.g., both CME_CircumstancesOtherText and LE_CircumstancesOtherText are columns in the data.

CME/LE_CircumstancesOtherText (str): Circumstances that may have contributed to the death, but that are not captured by existing variables.
CME/LE_CrisisOtherDescription (str): Description of a crisis that occured within two weeks of the incident, but is not captured in other variables for circumstance.
CME/LE_DisclosedToOtherDescription (str): If suicide intent was disclosed to someone other the available categories (see 5.7.5 in the coding manual), description of who intent was disclosed to.
CME/LE_HealthProblemTypeDescription (str): A physical health problem that contributed to the death, but is not captured by the existing variables (see 5.7.13 in the coding manual).

Mental health diagnoses

CME/LE_MentalHealthDiagnosis1/2 (str, categorical): Types of mental illness diagnosis that applied. These correspond to specific options outlined in the coding manual (5.3.3). There are separate columns for information from the law enforcement (LE) and coroner/medical examiner (CME) reports.

This can be used to specify a third diagnosis if both MentalHealthDiagnosis1 and MentalHealthDiagnosis2 are filled, or to specify a diagnosis that is not one of the options in the coding manual (5.3.3). There are separate columns for information from the law enforcement (LE) and coroner/medical examiner (CME) reports.
