 ABSTRACT
Research Objective
The primary objective of this research is to utilize machine learning techniques to predict
whether an individual has autism based on specific input features

Methodology Overview
 Data Cleaning
 Feature Engineering
 Model Training and Evaluation
 INTRODUCTION

What is Autism?
Autism is a neurological condition characterized by challenges in communication, social
interaction, and behavioral patterns

Why Machine Learning For Autism?

The lack of reliable diagnostic procedures for autism necessitates exploration of machine learning
as a potential tool for predictive diagnosis
 BACKGROUND

Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ)

 The AQ is a standardized assessment tool used for diagnosing autism in adults
 Cumulative scores from these levels help determine the likelihood of an individual being on
the autism spectrum

Choice of Python
Python was chosen as the primary programming language due to its extensive
libraries and frameworks tailored for machine learning tasks
 IMPORTING LIBRARIES &
DATASET

 Pandas
 NumPy
 Matplotlib/Seaborn
 Scikit-learn
 XGBoost
 Imblearn
 DATA CLEANING
Processing Steps
 Handling Null Values
 Outlier Removal
 Standardization

Ensuring Data Integrity

Cleaning and preparing the dataset, we ensure that subsequent analyses and model training are
based on reliable and consistent data inputs
EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS
 MODEL TRAINING
Preparation and Division of Data
 Train-Test Split
 Addressing Imbalance
 Normalization

Selection of Algorithms
Exploration and implementation of various machine learning algorithms (e.g., Logistic
Regression, SVC) to identify the best-performing model for autism prediction
 MODEL EVALUATION
Performance Metrics
 Accuracy Assessment
 Confusion Matrix

Comparative Analysis
Evaluation of multiple algorithms based on their
performance metrics, highlighting strengths and
limitations in predicting autism spectrum disorder
 CONCLUSION
Key Findings
 Predictive Accuracy
 Implications

Future Directions
 Further refinement and validation of models using larger datasets and diverse demographic
samples
 Exploration of interpretability techniques to understand model decisions and enhance clinical
applicability
