University Student's Mental Stress Detection Using Machine Learning

Abstract

University students are especially susceptible to the negative effects of mental stress in today's environment, which is a serious issue overall. A great deal of pressure is now being placed on a period of life that was traditionally considered to be the most carefree. People in today's culture are exposed to increasingly high levels of mental stress, which has been related to a broad variety of health problems, such as depression, suicide, heart attacks, and strokes. Because of this, in order to primarily extract, for the purposes of this research, the mental stress ratings of university students, we applied a total of six distinct machine learning methods. The Decision Tree Classifier, the Random Forest Classifier, the SVC, the KNN Classifier, the Multinomial NB, and the K-Nearest Neighbors Regressor are only some of the machine learning algorithms that are available. This investigation's principal objective is to determine the percentage of students who are struggling to deal with emotional pressure in their lives. The dataset was put together by hand with paper and manual information obtained from a survey. Out of the six distinct classification strategies, the Decision Tree Classifier and the Random Forest Classifier both achieved a test result of 0.99, which is the maximum score that can be achieved.
