Ethical AI considerations

Adopted approaches

Collection of ethical data

We have used a publicly available anonymous HRV dataset for the experiment.

Test for bias

The use of calibrated classification, stratification, grid search, and metrics, such as MCC, to test for bias in our models.

Test for fairness

The use of SMOTE and ADASYN algorithms for data balancing and a comparative analysis between balanced and imbalanced datasets.

Model Explainability

The use of ML-based local model Explanation with Tree-based approach (e.g., SHAP).

Ethical principles

The testing for bias, fairness, model scalability, and explainability

Privacy consideration

Data balancing with sampling algorithms, such as SMOTE and ADASYN preserve data privacy.

Iterate and improve

Incremental modeling for handling growing HRV data, continuous training-validation-testing, and automatic stress detection.
