    Exploration of Perceptual Speech Features for Clinical Decision-Support in Mental Health Care

    Researchers have developed a framework for analyzing speech features to aid in clinical decision-making for mental health care. This system uses perceptually grounded acoustic and linguistic characteristics, such as prosody, vocal quality, and semantic coherence, to identify objective cues related to depression, anxiety, and ADHD. By employing interpretable machine learning techniques like XGBoost with SHAP and LIME, the framework establishes stable associations between symptom severity and vocal irregularities, lexical-syntactic patterns, and affective tone, validated across both benchmark and clinical datasets.

    IMPACT This research offers a transparent and interpretable method for using AI to analyze speech patterns, potentially improving objective assessment of mental health conditions.

    Stabilising Explainability Fragility in Cybersecurity AI: The Impact and Mitigation of Multicollinearity in Public Benchmark Datasets

    This paper introduces a novel metric, the Explanability Fragility Score, to quantify instability in AI explanations within cybersecurity intrusion detection systems. The research demonstrates that multicollinearity, a statistical issue with correlated features, can significantly inflate explanation variance and make feature importances non-identifiable. To address this, the paper proposes two mitigation methods, CAA-Filtering and SHARP, aimed at stabilizing AI explanations and improving trustworthiness in security-critical applications. AI

    IMPACT Introduces methods to improve the trustworthiness and reproducibility of AI explanations in security-critical systems.

    AGOP-IxG: A Gradient Covariance Filter for Local Feature Attribution on Tabular Data, with a Controlled Benchmark

    Researchers have developed two new methods for improving feature attribution in machine learning models. Spectral Integrated Gradients (SIG) uses singular value decomposition to create attribution paths that progress from coarse to fine details, resulting in cleaner maps for image classification. Separately, AGOP-IxG offers a fast per-sample attribution method for tabular data, outperforming baselines in accuracy and significantly reducing computation time compared to methods like SHAP. AI
