Abstract

Depression among university students is a critical mental health concern, often exacerbated by academic pressure and social adaptation. While prior studies have utilized Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) models to achieve up to 78% accuracy, the effectiveness of these systems remains highly sensitive to architectural design and optimization strategies. To address this gap, this study systematically evaluates the performance of modern MLP architectural variants including DenseNet, ResMLP, and ResNet paired with SGD, Adam, and RMSprop optimizers. Using a dataset of 1,025 student records, the methodology integrates Chi-Square feature selection and Min-Max normalization, followed by an 80:20 Hold-Out validation. Results demonstrate that the ResNet-RMSprop synergy yields a superior accuracy of 83.86%, significantly outperforming traditional MLP benchmarks . By identifying the optimal combination of deep learning structures and optimization algorithms, this research provides a more robust and precise technical foundation for AI-driven early detection systems in academic settings.

Abstract

This study aims to comparatively evaluate the performance of different Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures and optimization algorithms for flower image classification. Three widely used CNN architectures DenseNet201, InceptionV3, and MobileNetV2 are implemented using transfer learning with pre-trained ImageNet weights and tested with two optimizers, Adam and RMSProp. The experiments are conducted on the Flowers Recognition dataset consisting of five flower classes: daisy, dandelion, rose, sunflower, and tulip. Image normalization and data augmentation are applied to improve model generalization, while performance is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The main contribution of this study lies in a systematic comparison of CNN architectures and optimizers within a unified experimental framework, which is rarely addressed in previous studies. The results show that DenseNet201 combined with the Adam optimizer achieves the highest classification accuracy of 90%, followed by MobileNetV2 with RMSProp, while InceptionV3 yields the lowest accuracy of 85%. These results confirm that the research objective is achieved, demonstrating that both CNN architecture and optimizer selection significantly influence flower image classification performance.
