A meta-heuristic optimization framework with explainable AI and SE-transformer integration
摘要
Detecting depression from speech signals is challenged due to inaccurate predictions, uncertainty, and a lack of interpretability. In this paper, a depression detection model is developed with a squeeze excitation transformer model and optimization approaches. Initially, the input signal is collected from a publicly available dataset, then pre-processed to produce accurate detection results. Then these signals are converted into images using the Markov transition field, the Recurrence plot, and the Gramian angular field. From the image, features are selected using the hybridized genetic golden jackal optimization algorithm, crested porcupine optimization algorithm, improved chimp optimization algorithm, and improved coot optimization algorithm. Depression detection is enabled with a squeeze excitation transformer model, and the features are visualized using Shapley Additive exPlanations. Accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, specificity, TPR, and FPR values obtained with the proposed approach of HGGJOA optimization for the DAIC-WOZ dataset are 0.9802, 0.9681, 0.9621, 0.9651, 0.9871, 0.0128, and 0.9525, respectively.
