contents Accurate identification and categorization of suicidal events can yield better suicide precautions, reducing operational burden, and improving care quality in high-acuity psychiatric settings. Pre-trained language models offer promise for identifying suicidality from unstructured clinical narratives. We evaluated the performance of four BERT-based models using two fine-tuning strategies (multiple single-label and single multi-label) for detecting coexisting suicidal events from 500 annotated psychiatric evaluation notes. The notes were labeled for suicidal ideation (SI), suicide attempts (SA), exposure to suicide (ES), and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). RoBERTa outperformed other models using multiple single-label classification strategy (acc=0.86, F1=0.78). MentalBERT (acc=0.83, F1=0.74) also exceeded BioClinicalBERT (acc=0.82, F1=0.72) which outperformed BERT (acc=0.80, F1=0.70). RoBERTa fine-tuned with single multi-label classification further improved the model performance (acc=0.88, F1=0.81). The findings highlight that the model optimization, pretraining with domain-relevant data, and the single multi-label classification strategy enhance the model performance of suicide phenotyping.
