An in-depth exploration of machine learning methods for mental health state detection: a systematic review and analysis

The systematic review underscores the potential of machine learning in addressing mental health issues and emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and collaboration to optimize its application in the field. It also shows that, although simpler and more interpretable models such as logistic regression are frequently used as baselines, the highest reported performances are usually achieved by more complex deep learning architectures, underscoring a central trade-off between model interpretability and predictive accuracy in this domain.

Abstract

The systematic review underscores the potential of machine learning in addressing mental health issues and emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and collaboration to optimize its application in the field. It also shows that, although simpler and more interpretable models such as logistic regression are frequently used as baselines, the highest reported performances are usually achieved by more complex deep learning architectures, underscoring a central trade-off between model interpretability and predictive accuracy in this domain.
