🏆 First-Author Research Paper
"Predicting Depression Through Social Media Behavior: Integrating Behavioral Features and Hybrid Methodologies" 📍 Submitted to MIKE 2026(Mining Intelligence and Knowledge Exploration)
Developed a hybrid ML framework combining classification (SVM, KNN, ID3, Naïve Bayes) and clustering (K-Means, K-Medoids) models to identify depression indicators from social media behavioral data — with a focus on model interpretability and real-world applicability.
