- Project Context
I am developing a mental health chatbot in French that combines two complementary approaches:
- A sentiment detection model (DistilBERT) already fine-tuned on a French dataset
- The Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model for generating empathetic and contextual responses
- Specific Objectives
- Create a virtual assistant capable of understanding and responding empathetically to the emotional needs of French-speaking users
- Provide 24/7 accessible support for people in emotional distress
- Contribute to reducing mental health stigma in France
- Develop an emotional support tool adapted to French culture
- Intended Use of the Model
- Generation of contextual and empathetic responses in French
- Integration with our existing sentiment detection system
- Deployment in a mobile application developed with Flutter
- Secure backend with FastAPI and Firebase
- Usage strictly for response generation, without conversation storage
- Ethical Considerations and Security
- The chatbot does not replace mental health professionals
- Appropriate disclaimers will be displayed
- User data will be processed securely and anonymously
- The system will include critical situation detection mechanisms
- Strict adherence to Meta's ethical guidelines for Llama usage
- Social Impact
- Improved access to emotional support in French
- Contribution to digital mental health research
- Development of mental health tools adapted to French culture
- Potential help for isolated individuals or those in distress
- Commitment
- Strict adherence to Meta's terms of use
- Ethical and responsible use of the model
- Clear documentation of our approach
- Sharing of results and learnings with the community
- Technical Information
- Framework: Flutter for frontend, FastAPI for backend
- Infrastructure: Firebase for security and storage
- Existing model: Fine-tuned DistilBERT for sentiment detection
- Language: French
- Target audience: French-speaking users
Additional Notes: - The project is currently in development phase
- We have already implemented the sentiment detection component
- The integration of Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct will significantly improve response quality
- We are committed to responsible AI development and ethical considerations
