A recent study from the University of Texas Austin utilized natural language processing to detect inconsistencies in death investigation notes attributing suicide circumstances. The research focused on improving data accuracy within the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) to enhance scientific research and policy development. By analyzing over 267,000 suicide death incidents, the study found that incorporating target state data into training the suicide-circumstance classifier improved the F-1 score by 5.4% on the target state's test set. The researchers concluded that their NLP framework effectively identified and rectified possible label errors, offering a solution to enhance the coding consistency of human annotators in the NVDRS.
