Behavioral analysis across multiple domains using machine learning and deep learning models

Abstrak

Behavioral analysis.using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) has become critical across healthcare, finance, cybersecurity, education, and marketing. This systematic review synthesizes advancements in ML- and DL-driven behavioral analysis (2019-2025) across five key domains. Our findings reveal that Deep Learning techniques achieve superior predictive accuracy (85-97% in healthcare imaging anomaly detection), while Machine Learning remains preferred for interpretability in finance (accuracy: 78-92%, with explainability advantage). A major trade-off emerges: DL models demonstrate higher accuracy but require substantial labeled data and computational resources, whereas ML models offer transparency but limited scalability. This review contributes by: (1) systematically analyzing domain-specific performance metrics and model evolution; (2) providing comparative synthesis of ML vs. DL approaches with quantitative benchmarking; (3) identifying critical challenges (data quality, privacy, algorithmic bias, interpretability); and (4) proposing actionable future directions, including Explainable AI, Federated Learning, and multimodal fusion. We adopt PRISMA-guided methodology examining 100+ peer-reviewed studies, revealing that hybrid ML-DL architectures represent the emerging best practice for balancing accuracy with interpretability.
