Applying explainable artificial intelligence models for understanding depression among IT workers
No full textArtificial Intelligence (AI) systems are getting better and better as each day goes on, but due to the increased complexity of the models that are being used, we are unable to understand how these decisions are being made by the system. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is a subfield of AI that aims to provide intelligible explanations to the end-user. This study evaluates people who are at risk of mental illness and detects early signs of depressive symptoms, using XAI approaches.</p
Mental stress detection from ultra-short heart rate variability using explainable graph convolutional network with network pruning and quantisation
No full textThis study introduces a novel pruning approach based on explainable graph convolutional networks, strategically amalgamating pruning and quantisation, aimed to tackle the complexities associated with existing machine learning and deep learning models for stress detection using ultra-short heart rate variability analysis. These complexities often impede the implementation ability of such models on resource-limited devices. The proposed method exhibits exceptional performance, demonstrating high accuracy (97.75%) and efficiency (97.66%) on the WESAD dataset, along with an impressive accuracy (94.48%) and efficiency (94.39%) on the SWELL dataset. Importantly, the runtime complexity saw a significant reduction, down by 63.4% and 69.34% compared to the original model. The proposed method's notable advantage lies in its ability to retain nearly all of the initial model's performance with negligible loss, even when the pruning levels are below 60%. This innovative approach, thus, offers a promising solution for effective stress detection, specifically designed to operate smoothly on devices with limited resources.</p
Multimodal classification of Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment using custom MKSCDDL kernel over CNN with transparent decision-making for explainable diagnosis
No full textThe study presents an innovative diagnostic framework that synergises Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with a Multi-feature Kernel Supervised within-class-similar Discriminative Dictionary Learning (MKSCDDL). This integrative methodology is designed to facilitate the precise classification of individuals into categories of Alzheimer's Disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and Cognitively Normal (CN) statuses while also discerning the nuanced phases within the MCI spectrum. Our approach is distinguished by its robustness and interpretability, offering clinicians an exceptionally transparent tool for diagnosis and therapeutic strategy formulation. We use scandent decision trees to deal with the unpredictability and complexity of neuroimaging data. Considering that different people's brain scans are different, this enables the model to make more detailed individualised assessments and explains how the algorithm illuminates the specific neuroanatomical regions that are indicative of cognitive impairment. This explanation is beneficial for clinicians because it gives them concrete ideas for early intervention and targeted care. The empirical review of our model shows that it makes diagnoses with a level of accuracy that is unmatched, with a classification efficacy of 98.27%. This shows that the model is good at finding important parts of the brain that may be damaged by cognitive diseases
Fair and explainable depression detection in social media
No full textDetection at an early stage is vital for the diagnosis of the majority of critical illnesses and is the same for identifying people suffering from depression. Nowadays, a number of researches have been done successfully to identify depressed persons based on their social media postings. However, an unexpected bias has been observed in these studies, which can be due to various factors like unequal data distribution. In this paper, the imbalance found in terms of participation in the various age groups and demographics is normalized using the one-shot decision approach. Further, we present an ensemble model combining SVM and KNN with the intrinsic explainability in conjunction with noisy label correction approaches, offering an innovative solution to the problem of distinguishing between depression symptoms and suicidal ideas. We achieved a final classification accuracy of 98.05%, with the proposed ensemble model ensuring that the data classification is not biased in any manner
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
