Abstract

Increasingly algorithms can infer sensitive information like depression using public social media pro les. This work tries to address one of the biggest challenges impeding the development of privacy protecting techniques in regards to depression status, the lack of datasets that are ethically created. Instead of using real pro les, this work explores the di erences between depressed and not depressed users in social media images and based on that creates a dataset that contains new pro les that are representative of depressed or not depressed users. This way of creating new datasets could be helpful in the future to help the development of new privacy protecting techniques without impeding the privacy of users in the process.
