Abstract

Understanding and supporting individuals with autism involves recognizing and respecting their unique perspectives and abilities while fostering an inclusive and accommodating environment. Ongoing research seeks to unravel the complexities of autism and enhance interventions to improve the quality of life for those affected. In the quest for advancing autism classification, this research orchestrates Learning Embedded Neural Boost Classification (LENBC) through an innovative ensemble model by leveraging the Autism Image Dataset (AID). The journey begins with meticulous image preprocessing, incorporating resizing, normalization, grayscale conversion, Gaussian blurring, and edge detection. The extracted features, derived from Neural Network architecture, serve as the foundation for subsequent classification. The convolutional layers of the CNN are designed to capture intricate patterns and nuanced information from the images, enhancing the model's ability to discern relevant features for autism classification. The CatBoost classifier, known for its robustness and efficiency, complements the CNN by making predictions based on the extracted features. This paper details the step-by-step process of this novel ensemble model, emphasizing the synergy between deep learning and boosting techniques. We delve into the intricacies of image preprocessing, feature extraction, and the unique role each model plays in the final classification. The experimental results showcase the efficacy of our approach, with an impressive accuracy of 97.42% in autism classification. The amalgamation of these cutting-edge methodologies not only propels the accuracy of autism classification but also sheds light on the potential of interdisciplinary collaboration between computer vision and machine learning. This research opens new avenues for exploring the synergy between art-inspired image processing and state-of-the-art classifiers, offering a harmonious blend of creativity and intelligence in the realm of medical image analysis.
