P2P - from Posts to Patterns: An LLM Ensemble Approach to Mental Health Dynamics Detection

Federico Ravenda, Volodymyr Karpenko, Antonietta Mira, Andrea Raballo


Abstract
This paper presents the USAI team’s submission to the CLPsych 2026 Shared Task, targeting Tasks~1.1, 1.2, 2, and~3.1. We propose an ensemble-based approach combining multiple open-source large language models, where the contribution of each model is weighted according to its alignment with clinically grounded human annotations on the training set. Our system achieves competitive results across the evaluated subtasks, with particularly strong performance on Tasks~1.2 and~2.
