A Multi-Modal Stacked Ensemble Model for Bipolar Disorder Classification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We propose an automatic ternary classification model for Bipolar Disorder (BD) states. As input information, the model uses speech signals from patients’ audio-visual recordings of structured interviews. The model classifies the patient's clinical state as Mania, Hypo-Mania, or Remission. We capture Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) and Geneva Minimalistic Acoustic Parameter Set (GeMAPS) as audio features. We compute linguistic and sentiment features for each subject's transcript. We present a stacked ensemble classifier to classify all fused features after feature selection. A set of three homogeneous Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and a Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) construct the first-level and second-level of the stacked ensemble classifier respectively. Moreover, we use the Neural Architecture Search (NAS) reinforcement learning strategy to optimize the networks and their hyperparameters. We show that our stacked ensemble framework outperforms existing models on the BD Turkish corpus with a$ 59.3\%$Unweighted Average Unit (UAR) on the test set. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest UAR achieved on this dataset.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
