Can Large Language Models Identify Implicit Suicidal Ideation? An Empirical Evaluation

We present a comprehensive evaluation framework for assessing Large Language Models' (LLMs) capabilities in suicide prevention, focusing on two critical aspects: the Identification of Implicit Suicidal ideation (IIS) and the Provision of Appropriate Supportive responses (PAS). We introduce \ourdata, a novel dataset of 1,308 test cases built upon psychological frameworks including D/S-IAT and Negative Automatic Thinking, alongside real-world scenarios. Through extensive experiments with 8 widely used LLMs under different contextual settings, we find that current models struggle significantly with detecting implicit suicidal ideation and providing appropriate support, highlighting crucial limitations in applying LLMs to mental health contexts. Our findings underscore the need for more sophisticated approaches in developing and evaluating LLMs for sensitive psychological applications.

StateVLM: A State-Aware Vision-Language Model for Robotic Affordance Reasoning

Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown remarkable performance in various robotic tasks, as they can perceive visual information and understand natural language instructions. However, when applied to robotics, VLMs remain subject to a fundamental limitation inherent in large language models (LLMs): they struggle with numerical reasoning, particularly in object detection and object-state localization. To explore numerical reasoning as a regression task in VLMs, we propose a novel training strategy to adapt VLMs for object detection and object-state localization. This approach leverages box decoder outputs to compute an Auxiliary Regression Loss (ARL) during fine-tuning, while preserving standard sequence prediction at inference. We leverage this training strategy to develop StateVLM (State-aware Vision-Language Model), a novel model designed to perceive and learn fine-grained object representations, including precise localization of objects and their states, as well as graspable regions. Due to the lack of a benchmark for object-state affordance reasoning, we introduce an open-source benchmark, Object State Affordance Reasoning (OSAR), which contains 1,172 scenes with 7,746 individual objects and corresponding bounding boxes. Comparative experiments on adapted benchmarks (RefCOCO, RefCOCO+, and \mbox{RefCOCOg}) demonstrate that ARL improves model performance by an average of 1.6\% compared to models without ARL. Experiments on the OSAR benchmark further support this finding, showing that StateVLM with ARL achieves an average of 5.2\% higher performance than models without ARL. In particular, ARL is also important for the complex task of affordance reasoning in OSAR, where it enhances the consistency of model outputs.
