Multiple-Kernel Support Vector Machine for Predicting Internet Gaming Disorder Using Multimodal Fusion of PET, EEG, and Clinical Features

Abstract

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) has become an important social and psychiatric issue in recent years. To prevent IGD and provide the appropriate intervention, an accurate prediction method for identifying IGD is necessary. In this study, we investigated machine learning methods of multimodal neuroimaging data including Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Electroencephalography (EEG), and clinical features to enhance prediction accuracy. Unlike the conventional methods which usually concatenate all features into one feature vector, we adopted a multiple-kernel support vector machine (MK-SVM) to classify IGD. We compared the prediction performance of standard machine learning methods such as SVM, random forest, and boosting with the proposed method in patients with IGD (N = 28) and healthy controls (N = 24). We showed that the prediction accuracy of the optimal MK-SVM using three kinds of modalities was much higher than other conventional machine learning methods, with the highest accuracy being 86.5%, the sensitivity 89.3%, and the specificity 83.3%. Furthermore, we deduced that clinical variables had the highest contribution to the optimal IGD prediction model and that the other two modalities were also indispensable. We found that more efficient integration of multimodal data through kernel combination could contribute to better performance of the prediction model. This study is a novel attempt to integrate each method from different sources and suggests that integrating each method, such as self-administrated reports, PET, and EEG, improves the prediction of IGD.

Automatic depression diagnosis through hybrid EEG and near-infrared spectroscopy features using support vector machine

“…This makes the combination method great potential for clinical application or routine screening of depression. Moreover, the development of wireless and wearable EEG and fNIRS devices has made our approach more portable and cost-effective ( Buckova et al, 2020 ; Jeong et al, 2022 ; Yu et al, 2022 ), which facilitates screening in high-risk populations at schools or communities.…”

Feature Detection Based on Imaging and Genetic Data Using Multi-Kernel Support Vector Machine–Apriori Model

“…This involved mapping the samples from the original space to a higher-dimensional feature space, where the samples became linearly separable. Three kernel functions were used: the linear kernel, the polynomial kernel, and the Gaussian kernel, with weights [26] of…”

A Systematic Literature Review on Multimodal Machine Learning: Applications, Challenges, Gaps and Future Directions

“…The audio domain has 3 articles, where recognition [391], detection [392] and translation [393] each have 1. Detection [394], prediction [395] and translation [396] each have one paper from 3 papers in the game domain. Each of the three articles in the biology domain pertained to recognition [397], prediction [398] and identification [399] accordingly.…”
