LLM embedding spaces partially recover expert-defined symptom structure in mental health language
A new arXiv preprint investigates whether LLM embedding geometry aligns with expert-defined symptom structure in mental health language, using 28 Reddit communities as a testbed. The authors compare pretrained and fine-tuned Qwen3 embeddings (0.6B and 4B) against an expert symptom matrix via representational similarity analysis, with controls for affective, stylistic, and topic confounds. Results show measurable but level-dependent alignment: fine-tuning strengthens it at fine-grained category levels, and larger scale improves both zero-shot alignment and fine-tuning gains. The paper argues that classification accuracy alone is insufficient to validate embedding geometry against domain knowledge.
