The continuous forecasting of anticipated trends in company accounting helps to prepare for possible challenges and investment possibilities. The forecasting of performance indicators for each partner and metric in a company requires a high volume of resources, as each forecasting model requires some supervised adjustment. To solve the challenge of manual work in this task, AutoML solutions can be used. In this study, we propose an automated forecasting model selection option. The time series data are summarized by 21 statistical features and different experiments are performed to find the best-suited forecasting method. Different classifier models are tested with the dataset, estimating the impact of data sampling and synthetic data generation. The results indicate that the undersampling approach is more suitable, as it helps in balancing the classes. Random forest methods usually show the best performance, achieving about 74% accuracy. The usage of a synthetic data-based dataset for model training reduced the accuracy by almost 20%, while the integration of synthetic and real time series data allowed us to achieve balance between both classes. This confirms that synthetic time series data generation might increase the accuracy of forecasting method selection, but it should be used in combination with real data. Full article

Deep learning-based approaches for automatic depression recognition offer advantages of low cost and high efficiency. However, depression symptoms are challenging to detect and vary significantly between individuals. Traditional deep learning methods often struggle to capture and model these nuanced features effectively, leading to lower recognition accuracy. This paper introduces a novel multimodal depression recognition method, HYNMDR, which utilizes hypergraphs to represent the complex, high-order relationships among patients with depression. HYNMDR comprises two primary components: a temporal embedding module and a hypergraph classification module. The temporal embedding module employs a temporal convolutional network and a negative sampling loss function based on Euclidean distance to extract feature embeddings from unimodal and cross-modal long-time series data. To capture the unique ways in which depression may manifest in certain feature elements, the hypergraph classification module introduces a threshold segmentation-based hyperedge construction method. This method is the first attempt to apply hypergraph neural networks to multimodal depression recognition. Experimental evaluations on the DAIC-WOZ and E-DAIC datasets demonstrate that HYNMDR outperforms existing methods in automatic depression monitoring, achieving an F1 score of 91.1% and an accuracy of 94.0%.
