Autism Spectrum Disorder

74
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computer Science
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is challenging, particularly in underserved areas.
  • Eye tracking offers a promising computer-based approach for accessible ASD diagnosis.
  • Previous work utilized Random Forest ensembles on joint attention eye-tracking data for ASD classification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance previous ASD diagnostic methods by evaluating alternative algorithms and ensemble strategies.
  • To investigate the diagnostic role of gaze anticipation and delay features in eye-tracking data.
  • To improve the accuracy and accessibility of ASD diagnosis through advanced computational techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized joint attention stimuli and "floating regions of interest" to identify gaze anticipation/delay features.
  • Evaluated seven class balancing strategies and seven dimensionality reduction algorithms.
  • Employed stacking techniques with five classifier induction algorithms to build an ensemble model.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a 95.5% F1-score, a significant improvement over the previous 82% F1-score.
  • Demonstrated the effectiveness of a heterogeneous stacking meta-classifier using diverse induction algorithms.
  • Validated the utility of anticipation features in enhancing ASD diagnostic accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed eye-tracking and machine learning approach shows potential for clinical application.
  • This method can contribute to increased accessibility for Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis.
  • Further research into novel algorithms and features can continue to refine ASD diagnostic tools.
