Utterance Classification with Logical Neural Network: Explainable AI for Mental Disorder Diagnosis
This provides a more trustworthy AI solution for therapists to assist in diagnosing mental disorders, though it is incremental in addressing explainability.
The authors tackled the problem of mental disorder diagnosis by proposing a Logical Neural Network (LNN) that combines neural learning with logical reasoning to improve explainability, achieving higher scores through predicate pruning techniques.
In response to the global challenge of mental health problems, we proposes a Logical Neural Network (LNN) based Neuro-Symbolic AI method for the diagnosis of mental disorders. Due to the lack of effective therapy coverage for mental disorders, there is a need for an AI solution that can assist therapists with the diagnosis. However, current Neural Network models lack explainability and may not be trusted by therapists. The LNN is a Recurrent Neural Network architecture that combines the learning capabilities of neural networks with the reasoning capabilities of classical logic-based AI. The proposed system uses input predicates from clinical interviews to output a mental disorder class, and different predicate pruning techniques are used to achieve scalability and higher scores. In addition, we provide an insight extraction method to aid therapists with their diagnosis. The proposed system addresses the lack of explainability of current Neural Network models and provides a more trustworthy solution for mental disorder diagnosis.
