hum, interesting.

Kind of minority report here.

Machine learning on depression syndrome ?

I'am a hacker and not truly white, are you not afraid that people used this to take advantage of depressed people ?

A man can use this to spot depressed women , some are manipulator born people.

I find the project interesting but it have a lot of ethic problems. I think that it will be more a tools for the people in wealth.

maybe it could be more interesting to have the global mood of people than the mood of one people.

As i said the problem that i have with this is that i could help a manipulative pervert to spot his next victim.

Allowing anyone to use it is a ethic problem for me.

Manipulative pervert have a natural tendency to spot people in weakness state you could just help them more with this ...

Take care of this, i think maybe a way to avoid this will be to give it access to people only with a good reputation.

(reputation system are a things that a lot of people are working on it).

But the project and the technology interest me.

Did you see the project go learning ?

There are some association that use phone line to help people and prevent suicide. Your product could be useful for them.

We can imagine them using it online to prevent suicide or contact people in private.

regards and i wish you to sucess.

ML would be a huge step forward, this just matches a couple keywords.
if you need some advice on ML i will be glad to give you some.

I'am mainly use python for this but there's other solution.
