Hybrid Recommender System for Mental Illness Detection in Social Media Using Deep Learning Techniques

Abstract

Recommender systems are chiefly renowned for their applicability in e-commerce sites and social media. For system optimization, this work introduces a method of behaviour pattern mining to analyze the person’s mental stability. With the utilization of the sequential pattern mining algorithm, efficient extraction of frequent patterns from the database is achieved. A candidate sub-sequence generation-and-test method is adopted in conventional sequential mining algorithms like the Generalized Sequential Pattern Algorithm (GSP). However, since this approach will yield a huge candidate set, it is not ideal when a large amount of data is involved from the social media analysis. Since the data is composed of numerous features, all of which may not have any relation with one another, the utilization of feature selection helps remove unrelated features from the data with minimal information loss. In this work, Frequent Pattern (FP) mining operations will employ the Systolic tree. The systolic tree-based reconfigurable architecture will offer various benefits such as high throughput as well as cost-effective performance. The database’s frequently occurring item sets can be found by using the FP mining algorithms. Numerous research areas related to machine learning and data mining are fascinated by feature selection since it will enable the classifiers to be swift, more accurate, and cost-effective. Over the last ten years or so, there have been significant technological advancements in heuristic techniques. These techniques are beneficial because they improve the search procedure’s efficiency, albeit at the potential sacrifice of completeness claims. A new recommender system for mental illness detection was based on features selected using River Formation Dynamics (RFD), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and hybrid RFD-PSO algorithm is proposed in this paper. The experiments use the depressive patient datasets for evaluation, and the results demonstrate the improved performance of the proposed technique.
