Convolutional Neural Network–Based Deep Learning Model for Predicting Differential Suicidality in Depressive Patients Using Brain Generalized q-Sampling Imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Suicide is a priority health problem. Suicide assessment depends on imperfect clinician assessment with minimal ability to predict the risk of suicide. Machine learning/deep learning provides an opportunity to detect an individual at risk of suicide to a greater extent than clinician assessment. The present study aimed to use deep learning of structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to create an algorithm for detecting suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts. METHODS: We recruited 4 groups comprising a total of 186 participants: 33 depressive patients with suicide attempt (SA), 41 depressive patients with suicidal ideation (SI), 54 depressive patients without suicidal thoughts (DP), and 58 healthy controls (HCs). The confirmation of depressive disorder, SA and SI was based on psychiatrists' diagnosis and Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) interviews. In the generalized q-sampling imaging (GQI) dataset, indices of generalized fractional anisotropy (GFA), the isotropic value of the orientation distribution function (ISO), and normalized quantitative anisotropy (NQA) were separately trained in convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning and DenseNet models. RESULTS: From the results of 5-fold cross-validation, the best accuracies of the CNN classifier for predicting SA, SI, and DP against HCs were 0.916, 0.792, and 0.589, respectively. In SA-ISO, DenseNet outperformed the simple CNNs with a best accuracy from 5-fold cross-validation of 0.937. In SA-NQA, the best accuracy was 0.915. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that a deep learning method based on structural MRI can effectively detect individuals at different levels of suicide risk, from depression to suicidal ideation and attempted suicide. Further studies from different populations, larger sample sizes, and prospective follow-up studies are warranted to confirm the utility of deep learning methods for suicide prevention and intervention.

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.
