Abstract
There are a large number of neurological disorders being explored regarding possible management and treatment, with dyslexia being one of the disorders that affect children at the onset of their learning process. Dyslexia is a developmental neurological disorder that prevents children from learning. The disorder has a prevalence of around 10% across the globe, as reported by most of the literature on dyslexia. The early detection and management of dyslexia is one of the primary pursuits among different research. One such domain that leads this pursuit of the early detection and management of dyslexia is artificial intelligence. With so much effort being expended to explore the applicability of artificial intelligence to address the problem of dyslexia detection, in this work, an ensemble model for the early detection of dyslexia is proposed and recommend. The work experimentally considers a pool of ensembles with rigorous validation on a large sized dataset. The final ensemble model recommendation for detection is expressed after evaluating all of the ensemble frameworks based on a number of evaluation parameters. Our experiments reveal that the subspace discriminant ensemble showed superiority for the detection of dyslexia with an accuracy of 90% on five-fold cross validation with the least training time. An accuracy of 90.90% was achieved using boosted trees with a holdout validation of 30%, while with no validation the subspace K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) outperformed the other ensembles with an accuracy of 99.9%.
