Basic reporting

1、The article includes sufficient introduction and background information; however, in the introduction section, the author separately discusses the background and their own methodology without analyzing the existing problems. There is some analysis of the problems in the later related work section. It is recommended to briefly summarize the identified issues in the introduction section. Additionally, in the introduction part, when summarizing the contributions of the article, the author's statements are somewhat vague, such as "This study proposed an approach for suicide prediction using depression-related social media posts and machine learning methods." It is suggested to provide a concise summary of the proposed methods.

2、In the "Materials and Methods" section, it is recommended to adjust the orientation of the text in Figures 1 and 3 within the preprocessing techniques section to enhance the readability of the images.

3、In section 3.4.1, it is recommended to provide an explanation for "mode{}" in Equation (5).

Experimental design

1、The dataset provided in the paper is mentioned as "suicide and depression detection (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/nikhileswarkomati/suicide-watch)." However, the actual dataset used in the code appears to be related to "human stress detection during sleep (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/laavanya/human-stress-detection-in-and-through-sleep)." There seems to be an inconsistency between the dataset mentioned and the one used in the code. It is advisable for the authors to verify and clarify this discrepancy.
