Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes memory degradation and cognitive function impairment in elderly people. The irreversible and devastating cognitive decline brings large burdens on patients and society. So far, there is no effective treatment that can cure AD, but the process of early-stage AD can slow down. Early and accurate detection is critical for treatment. In recent years, deep-learning-based approaches have achieved great success in Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. The main objective of this paper is to review some popular conventional machine learning methods used for the classification and prediction of AD using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The methods reviewed in this paper include support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), convolutional neural network (CNN), autoencoder, deep learning, and transformer. This paper also reviews pervasively used feature extractors and different types of input forms of convolutional neural network. At last, this review discusses challenges such as class imbalance and data leakage. It also discusses the trade-offs and suggestions about pre-processing techniques, deep learning, conventional machine learning methods, new techniques, and input type selection.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible neurological disorder that affects the vast majority of dementia cases, leading patients to experience gradual memory loss and cognitive function decline. Despite the lack of a cure, early detection of Alzheimer’s disease permits the provision of preventive medication to slow the disease’s progression. The objective of this project is to develop a computer-aided method based on a deep learning model to distinguish Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from cognitively normal and its early stage, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), by just using structural MRI (sMRI). To attain this purpose, we proposed a multiclass classification method based on 3D T1-weight brain sMRI images from the ADNI database. Axial brain images were extracted from 3D MRI and fed into the convolutional neural network (CNN) for multiclass classification. Three separate models were tested: a CNN built from scratch, VGG-16, and ResNet-50. As a feature extractor, the VGG-16 and ResNet-50 convolutional bases trained on the ImageNet dataset were employed. To achieve classification, a new densely connected classifier was implemented on top of the convolutional bases.
In order to tackle existing traffic flow prediction problem, a Traffic Volume Forecast Model based on deep learning is designed. The model implements Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to extract spatial matrix information, uses long and short-term neural network (LSTM) for sequence prediction, appends attention mechanism to time step on LSTM, and assigns weights to different time steps. By implementing model verification on the Chengdu taxi dataset, dividing data into various categories, cross validating different categories of data, and comparing the model with other models, it is concluded that the CNN-LSTM-At network model proposed in this article has higher accuracy compared with traditional network model.
