    Assessing dyslexia with machine learning: a pilot study utilizing Google ML Kit
    (IEEE, 2023-12-19) Eroğlu, Günet; Harb, Mhd Raja Abou
    In this study, we explore the application of Google ML Kit, a machine learning development kit, for dyslexia detection in the Turkish language. We collected face-tracking data from two groups: 49 dyslexic children and 22 typically developing children. Using Google ML Kit and other machine learning algorithms based on eye-tracking data, we compared their performance in dyslexia detection. Our findings reveal that Google ML Kit achieved the highest accuracy among the tested methods. This study underscores the potential of machine learning-based dyslexia detection and its practicality in academic and clinical settings.

    ANN activation function estimators for homomorphic encrypted inference
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-06-13) Harb, Mhd Raja Abou; Çeliktaş, Barış
    Homomorphic Encryption (HE) enables secure computations on encrypted data, facilitating machine learning inference in sensitive environments such as healthcare and finance. However, efficiently handling non-linear activation functions, specifically Sigmoid and Tanh, remains a significant computational challenge for encrypted inference using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). This study introduces a lightweight, ANN-based estimator designed to accurately approximate activation functions under homomorphic encryption. Unlike traditional polynomial and piecewise linear approximations, the proposed ANN estimators achieve superior accuracy with lower computational overhead associated with bootstrapping or high-degree polynomial techniques. These estimators are trained on plaintext data and seamlessly integrated into encrypted inference pipelines, significantly outperforming conventional methods. Experimental evaluations demonstrate notable improvements, with ANN estimators enhancing accuracy by approximately 2% for Sigmoid and up to 73% for Tanh functions, improving F1-scores by approximately 2% for Sigmoid and up to 88% for Tanh, and markedly reducing Mean Square Error (MSE) by up to 96% compared to polynomial approximations. The ANN estimator achieves an accuracy of 97.70% and an AUC of 0.9997 when integrated into a CNN architecture on the MNIST dataset, and an accuracy of 85.25% with an AUC of 0.9459 on the UCI Heart Disease dataset during ciphertext inference. These results underscore the estimator’s practical effectiveness and computational feasibility, making it suitable for secure and efficient ANN inference in encrypted environments.

    Secure and interpretable dyslexia detection using homomorphic encryption and SHAP-based explanations
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-10-25) Harb, Mhd Raja Abou; Çeliktaş, Barış; Eroğlu, Günet
    Protecting sensitive healthcare data during machine learning inference is critical, particularly in cloud-based environments. This study addresses the privacy and interpretability challenges in dyslexia detection using Quantitative EEG (QEEG) data. We propose a privacy-preserving framework utilizing Homomorphic Encryption (HE) to securely perform inference with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Due to the incompatibility of non-linear activation functions with encrypted arithmetic, we employ a dedicated approximation strategy. To ensure model interpretability without compromising privacy, SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) are computed homomorphically and decrypted client-side. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the encrypted inference achieves an accuracy of 90.03% and an AUC of 0.8218, reflecting only minor performance degradation compared to plaintext inference. SHAP value comparisons (Spearman correlation = 0.59) validate the reliability of the encrypted explanations. These results confirm that integrating privacy-preserving and explainable AI approaches is feasible for secure, ethical, and compliant healthcare deployments.
