Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diagnosis of depression is based on tests performed by psychiatrists and information provided by patients or their relatives. In the field of machine learning (ML), numerous models have been devised to detect depression automatically through the analysis of speech audio signals. While deep learning approaches often achieve superior classification accuracy, they are notably resource-intensive. This research introduces an innovative, multilevel hybrid feature extraction-based classification model, specifically designed for depression detection, which exhibits reduced time complexity.
