ABSTRACT This study aimed to create a machine learning-based predictive model for early detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in infants using acoustic features. Conducted as a prospective cohort at Nanjing Medical University from 2019 to 2024, infants aged 9?18?months from an ASD sibling cohort participated. Behavioral and vocalization data were gathered during the Still-Face Paradigm, with ASD diagnoses confirmed at 36?months through ADOS and ADI-R assessments. Researchers extracted 4368 acoustic features from the recordings and applied LASSO regression for dimensionality reduction, identifying 39 key features. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was then developed, tested with four kernel functions?linear, radial basis function, polynomial, and sigmoid?via tenfold cross-validation. The final sample included 88 infants, 28 of whom were diagnosed with ASD. The sigmoid kernel yielded the best results, achieving a 92.86% sensitivity, 93.33% specificity, and a 93.18% accuracy. Notably, spectral and energy-related features were significantly higher in ASD infants (p?0.01). These findings suggest that acoustic features can serve as early, noninvasive biomarkers for ASD, and the SVM model demonstrates significant promise for early screening and intervention efforts. |
