2026

We provide an overview of the CLPsych 2026 Shared Task, which focuses on capturing and characterizing mental health dynamics from social media timelines through structured modeling of self-states. This year advances the longitudinal paradigm set by prior CLPsych shared tasks (2022, 2025), by integrating fine-grained psychological representation using the MIND framework. The task is organized into three main components: (1) post-level identification of adaptive and maladaptive self-states through ྀི elements and sub-elements, along with estimation of their presence; (2) timeline-level detection of Moments of Change, including both abrupt switches and gradual escalations based on ABCd element and sub-element combinations; and (3) sequence-level modeling, involving summarization of change processes over time and identification of recurrent dynamic signatures.
