AI model predicts male domestic violence in Bangladesh using explainable learning

Researchers have developed an explainable ensemble learning model to predict male domestic violence (MDV) in Bangladesh. The study addresses challenges of imbalanced data and limited availability by collecting data from nine major cities. Their proposed stacking ensemble model, using ANN and CatBoost as base classifiers with Logistic Regression as the meta-model, achieved 95% accuracy and a 99.29% AUC. Explainable AI techniques like SHAP and LIME were employed to provide transparency into the model's decision-making processes, challenging the notion that domestic abuse primarily affects women and highlighting the need for tailored support for male victims.

    Predicting Male Domestic Violence Using Explainable Ensemble Learning and Exploratory Data Analysis

    arXiv:2403.15594v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Domestic violence is commonly viewed as a gendered issue that primarily affects women, which tends to leave male victims largely overlooked. This study presents a novel, data-driven analysis of male domestic violence (MDV)…
