# REDDME

This repository contains the dataset introduced in the paper:


- Paper: [Assess and Prompt: A Generative RL Framework for Improving Engagement in Online Mental Health Communities](https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.16788)
- Published in **Findings of EMNLP 2025**  

## 📖 Description

We propose **REDDME**, a manually annotated corpus extended from the publicly available mental health subreddit corpus, **BeCOPE** (Srivastava et al., 2025).  

- **BeCOPE** categorizes posts into three categories:  
  - **Interactive** → back-and-forth conversations between the OP (original poster) and peers  
  - **Non-interactive** → post engages peers, but the OP does not reply  
  - **Isolated** → post receives no comments  

- **REDDME** selects **4,760 posts** from BeCOPE and **manually annotates** them with **support attributes**:
  - **Event**  
  - **Effect**  
  - **Requirement**  

Each attribute is annotated with **spans (rationales)** and an **intensity level**.
