Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease is one of the neurodegenerative disorders. It initially starts with innocuous symptoms but gradually becomes severe. This disease is so dangerous because there is no treatment, the disease is detected but typically at a later stage. So it is important to detect Alzheimer at an early stage to counter the disease and for a probable recovery for the patient. There are various approaches currently used to detect symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) at an early stage. The fuzzy system approach is not widely used as it heavily depends on expert knowledge but is quite efficient in detecting AD as it provides a mathematical foundation for interpreting the human cognitive processes. Another more accurate and widely accepted approach is the machine learning detection of AD stages which uses machine learning algorithms like Support Vector Machines (SVMs) , Decision Tree , Random Forests to detect the stage depending on the data provided. The final approach is the Deep Learning approach using multi-modal data that combines image , genetic data and patient data using deep models and then uses the concatenated data to detect the AD stage more efficiently; this method is obscure as it requires huge volumes of data. This paper elaborates on all the three approaches and provides a comparative study about them and which method is more efficient for AD detection. Keywords: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Fuzzy System , Machine Learning , Deep Learning , Multimodal data

Alzheimer’s disease has been one of the major concerns recently. Around 45 million people are suffering from this disease. Alzheimer’s is a degenerative brain disease with an unspecified cause and pathogenesis which primarily affects older people. The main cause of Alzheimer’s disease is Dementia, which progressively damages the brain cells. People lost their thinking ability, reading ability, and many more from this disease. A machine learning system can reduce this problem by predicting the disease. The main aim is to recognize Dementia among various patients. This paper represents the result and analysis regarding detecting Dementia from various machine learning models. The Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) dataset has been used for the development of the system. The dataset is small, but it has some significant values. The dataset has been analyzed and applied in several machine learning models. Support vector machine, logistic regression, decision tree, and random forest have been used for prediction. First, the system has been run without fine-tuning and then with fine-tuning. Comparing the results, it is found that the support vector machine provides the best results among the models. It has the best accuracy in detecting Dementia among numerous patients. The system is simple and can easily help people by detecting Dementia among them.

Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease which can eventually leads to dementia. Mostly occurring in elderly people over the age of 65, it is hard to detect and diagnose correctly. Most common symptoms include memory loss and slow deterioration of cognitive functions. Given that these symptoms are seen often in old people, this hinders the detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Alzheimer’s is currently incurable, but detection of the disease during its early stage is often beneficial to the patient, since there are treatments which can considerably improve the quality of life of the patient. However this can only be done if the patient has been diagnosed at a stage before any permanent brain damage has been done. Most of the current methods for detecting and diagnosing AD are not good enough. It is the need of the hour to develop better and early diagnostic tools. With the improvements in the field of machine learning, we now have the tools needed to drastically improve detection of Alzheimer’s. We examine various machine learning methods and algorithms to find a method which can boost the chances of detecting the disease. We will use the following algorithms: Decision Tree, SVM, Random Forest and Adaboost. The dataset being used is the longitudinal MRI data available included in the OASIS dataset. We will use the aforementioned algorithms on the dataset and compare the accuracies achieved to find an optimal.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is referred to as one of the highest non-unusual neurodegenerative disorders that inflict eternal harm to the memory-associated brain cells and wonder skills. There is a 99.6 percent failure rate in clinical trials of Alzheimer's disease pills, perhaps due to the fact that AD sufferers cannot be without early-stage complications. This observation analyzed machine learning knowledge of strategies to use empirical statistics to forecast the progression of AD in the years of fate. Diagnosis of AD is often difficult, particularly at an early stage in the disease system, due to the degree of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, it is at this point where treatment is much more likely to be successful, so there will be great benefits in enhancing the diagnosis process. Research in this area aims to identify the most complex mechanisms directly related to changes in AD. Various imaging methods are used to diagnose AD, and image modes play a key role in the diagnosis of AD. This paper uses a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) image to detect AD early. The PET image is often used to know how organs and tissues function in the human body. This research study analyses prediction approaches using various kinds of machine learning algorithms to solve AD diagnostic problems. Artificial Neural Networks are one of the many algorithms. Modern research has shown that deep learning is a proficient technique for solving numerous problems of image recognition, but most of these published approaches owe their performance to training on a very large number of data samples.

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex and severe neurodegenerative disease that still lacks effective methods of diagnosis. The current diagnostic methods of AD rely on cognitive tests, imaging techniques and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ42), total tau protein and hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau). However, the available methods are expensive and relatively invasive. Artificial intelligence techniques like machine learning tools have being increasingly used in precision diagnosis. Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the machine learning and novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of AD. Methods: We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for reviews and trials that investigated the machine learning and novel biomarkers in diagnosis of AD. Results: In additional to Aβ and tau-related biomarkers, biomarkers according to other mechanisms of AD pathology have been investigated. Neuronal injury biomarker includes neurofiliament light (NFL). Biomarkers about synaptic dysfunction and/or loss includes neurogranin, BACE1, synaptotagmin, SNAP-25, GAP-43, synaptophysin. Biomarkers about neuroinflammation includes sTREM2, and YKL-40. Besides, d-glutamate is one of coagonists at the NMDARs. Several machine learning algorithms including support vector machine, logistic regression, random forest, and naïve Bayes) to build an optimal predictive model to distinguish patients with AD from healthy controls. Conclusions: Our results revealed machine learning with novel biomarkers and multiple variables may increase the sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of AD. Rapid and cost-effective HPLC for biomarkers and machine learning algorithms may assist physicians in diagnosing AD in outpatient clinics.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurological disease that affects memory and the livelihood of the people that are diagnosed with it. Efficient automated techniques for early diagnosis of AD is very important because early diagnosis is used to prevent a patient from death. In this work, we present a novel computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) techniques using machine learning algorithms for the early diagnosis of AD. The input resting state fMRI(rsfMRI) images are taken from Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. The input image is pre-processed using Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT). Automated thresholding algorithm is used to segment the image. Then, the segmented resting state fMRI images are used to extract useful and informative features. The best features are selected by Fisher’s code feature selection algorithm. Finally, an automated Image classification step is performed using machine learning algorithms Support Vector Machine(SVM), Decision Tree , Random Forest and Multi-Layer Perceptron algorithms to distinguish between normal patients and AD patients.

Introduction: The goal of this study was to investigate and compare the classification performance of machine learning with behavioral data from standard neuropsychological tests, a cognitive task, or both.Methods: A neuropsychological battery and a simple 5-min cognitive task were administered to eight individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), eight individuals with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD), and 41 demographically match controls (CN). A fully connected multilayer perceptron (MLP) network and four supervised traditional machine learning algorithms were used.Results: Traditional machine learning algorithms achieved similar classification performances with neuropsychological or cognitive data. MLP outperformed traditional algorithms with the cognitive data (either alone or together with neuropsychological data), but not neuropsychological data. In particularly, MLP with a combination of summarized scores from neuropsychological tests and the cognitive task achieved ~90% sensitivity and ~90% specificity. Applying the models to an independent dataset, in which the participants were demographically different from the ones in the main dataset, a high specificity was maintained (100%), but the sensitivity was dropped to 66.67%.Discussion: Deep learning with data from specific cognitive task(s) holds promise for assisting in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, but future work with a large and diverse sample is necessary to validate and to improve this approach.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are caused by neurodegeneration and poor communication between neurons in the brain. So far, no effective medications have been discovered for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Thus, early diagnosis is necessary to avoid the development of these diseases. In this study, efficient machine learning algorithms were assessed to evaluate the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) dataset for dementia diagnosis. Two CNN models (AlexNet and ResNet-50) and hybrid techniques between deep learning and machine learning (AlexNet+SVM and ResNet-50+SVM) were also evaluated for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. For the OASIS dataset, we balanced the dataset, replaced the missing values, and applied the t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbour Embedding algorithm (t-SNE) to represent the high-dimensional data in the low-dimensional space. All of the machine learning algorithms, namely, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree, Random Forest and K Nearest Neighbours (KNN), achieved high performance for diagnosing dementia. The random forest algorithm achieved an overall accuracy of 94% and precision, recall and F1 scores of 93%, 98% and 96%, respectively. The second dataset, the MRI image dataset, was evaluated by AlexNet and ResNet-50 models and AlexNet+SVM and ResNet-50+SVM hybrid techniques. All models achieved high performance, but the performance of the hybrid methods between deep learning and machine learning was better than that of the deep learning models. The AlexNet+SVM hybrid model achieved accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and AUC scores of 94.8%, 93%, 97.75% and 99.70%, respectively.

Many countries worldwide face challenges in controlling building incidence prevention measures for fire disasters. The most critical issues are the localization, identification, detection of the room occupant. Internet of Things (IoT) along with machine learning proved the increase of the smartness of the building by providing real-time data acquisition using sensors and actuators for prediction mechanisms. This paper proposes the implementation of an IoT framework to capture indoor environmental parameters for occupancy multivariate time-series data. The application of the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Deep Learning algorithm is used to infer the knowledge of the presence of human beings. An experiment is conducted in an office room using multivariate time-series as predictors in the regression forecasting problem. The results obtained demonstrate that with the developed system it is possible to obtain, process, and store environmental information. The information collected was applied to the LSTM algorithm and compared with other machine learning algorithms. The compared algorithms are Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes Network, and Multilayer Perceptron Feed-Forward Network. The outcomes based on the parametric calibrations demonstrate that LSTM performs better in the context of the proposed application.
