WKOA: Wolverine-Kite Optimization Algorithm for Feature Selection and Deep High-order Attention Network with Explainable AI for Thyroid Disease Detection
摘要
Thyroid disease detection involves clinical evaluation, lab tests, and imaging to identify thyroid disorders. Early detection is vital for timely treatment, preventing complications, and improving quality of life. However, current techniques face challenges such as non-specific symptoms, test inconsistency, limited access, and diagnostic limitations, affecting accuracy and timely diagnosis. In this research, a novel Deep High-order Attention Network (DHA-Net) optimized utilizing the Wolverine-Kite Optimization Algorithm (WKOA) is proposed to address these issues. The dataset, containing clinical data for thyroid disease detection, undergoes processing with tanh normalization to normalize the data. Feature selection is then performed with WKOA, a hybrid optimization devised using the Wolverine Optimization Algorithm (WoOA) as well as the Black Kite Algorithm (BKA). Next, data augmentation is performed using Local Density Estimation-based SMOTE (LD-SMOTE) to enhance the minority sample representation. The DHA-Net, with hyperparameters optimized via WKOA, is then used for thyroid disease detection. Model interpretability is ensured through Explainable AI (XAI) using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), providing insights into the contributions of each feature. The devised WKOA_DHA-Net model attains a True-Negative Rate (TNR) of 93.283%, True-Positive Rate (TPR) of 93.945%, overall accuracy of 93.435%, and F1-score of 93.387%.
