From Moments to Mechanisms: Predicting Mental Health Problems In Daily Life Using Computational and Machine Learning Models

Saturday, May 30, 2026 · Barcelona, Spain

Oral · Mental Health in Focus: Symptoms, Support & Intervention

This symposium showcases cutting-edge applications of machine learning and computational modeling to ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data across internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. Four talks demonstrate how drift diffusion modeling, machine learning, and multilevel growth curve models can predict clinical outcomes, identify intervention targets, and reveal mechanisms in naturalistic contexts.
