Learning Approaches

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may cause damage to the memory cells permanently, which results in the form of dementia. The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease at an early stage is a problematic task for researchers. For this, machine learning and deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based approaches are readily available to solve various problems related to brain image data analysis. In clinical research, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to diagnose AD. For accurate classification of dementia stages, we need highly discriminative features obtained from MRI images. Recently advanced deep CNN-based models successfully proved their accuracy. However, due to a smaller number of image samples available in the datasets, there exist problems of over-fitting hindering the performance of deep learning approaches. In this research, we developed a Siamese convolutional neural network (SCNN) model inspired by VGG-16 (also called Oxford Net) to classify dementia stages. In our approach, we extend the insufficient and imbalanced data by using augmentation approaches. Experiments are performed on a publicly available dataset open access series of imaging studies (OASIS), by using the proposed approach, an excellent test accuracy of 99.05% is achieved for the classification of dementia stages. We compared our model with the state-of-the-art models and discovered that the proposed model outperformed the state-of-the-art models in terms of performance, efficiency, and accuracy.

Heavy Burden

More than 35 million patients are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and this number is growing, which puts a heavy burden on countries around the world. Early detection is of benefit, in which the deep learning can aid AD identification effectively and gain ideal results. A novel eight-layer convolutional neural network with batch normalization and dropout techniques for classification of Alzheimer’s disease was proposed. After data augmentation, the training dataset contained 7399 AD patient and 7399 HC subjects. Our eight-layer CNN-BN-DO-DA method yielded a sensitivity of 97.77%, a specificity of 97.76%, a precision of 97.79%, an accuracy of 97.76%, a F1 of 97.76%, and a MCC of 95.56% on the test set, which achieved the best performance in seven state-of-the-art approaches. The results strongly demonstrate that this method can effectively assist the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
