A3C-TL-GTO: Alzheimer Automatic Accurate Classification Using Transfer Learning and Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimizer

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic disease that affects the elderly. There are many different types of dementia, but Alzheimer’s disease is one of the leading causes of death. AD is a chronic brain disorder that leads to problems with language, disorientation, mood swings, bodily functions, memory loss, cognitive decline, mood or personality changes, and ultimately death due to dementia. Unfortunately, no cure has yet been developed for it, and it has no known causes. Clinically, imaging tools can aid in the diagnosis, and deep learning has recently emerged as an important component of these tools. Deep learning requires little or no image preprocessing and can infer an optimal data representation from raw images without prior feature selection. As a result, they produce a more objective and less biased process. The performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN) is primarily affected by the hyperparameters chosen and the dataset used. A deep learning model for classifying Alzheimer’s patients has been developed using transfer learning and optimized by Gorilla Troops for early diagnosis. This study proposes the A3C-TL-GTO framework for MRI image classification and AD detection. The A3C-TL-GTO is an empirical quantitative framework for accurate and automatic AD classification, developed and evaluated with the Alzheimer’s Dataset (four classes of images) and the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). The proposed framework reduces the bias and variability of preprocessing steps and hyperparameters optimization to the classifier model and dataset used. Our strategy, evaluated on MRIs, is easily adaptable to other imaging methods. According to our findings, the proposed framework was an excellent instrument for this task, with a significant potential advantage for patient care. The ADNI dataset, an online dataset on Alzheimer’s disease, was used to obtain magnetic resonance imaging (MR) brain images. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves 96.65% accuracy for the Alzheimer’s Dataset and 96.25% accuracy for the ADNI dataset. Moreover, a better performance in terms of accuracy is demonstrated over other state-of-the-art approaches.

“…The last column defines a keyword to be used in the experiments instead of using the whole model name. To evaluate the model, different performance metrics are calculated ( Seliya, Khoshgoftaar & Van Hulse, 2009 ; Baghdadi et al, 2022b , 2022a ): (1) accuracy ( Eq. (1) ), (2) balanced accuracy ( Eq.…”

CAD-ALZ: A Blockwise Fine-Tuning Strategy on Convolutional Model and Random Forest Classifier for Recognition of Multistage Alzheimer’s Disease

“…The experiments are performed on the Kaggle-ALZ [60] dataset. In addition, the proposed CAD-ALZ system is compared with [61] and tested on the ADNI [62] dataset.…”

“…In another experiment, we compared the CAD-ALZ system with [61] by using another dataset in ADNI [62] to show the generalizability of the proposed technique. The "A3C-TL-GTO" framework was developed in [61] for classifying ALZ into four stages, and the experiments were performed on the Kaggle-ALZ [60] and ADNI [62] datasets. The suggested approach reduces the bias, variability of the preprocessing steps, and optimization hyperparameters for the classifier model and dataset.…”

“…The experiments are performed on the Kaggle-ALZ dataset [60]. We have also compared with latest the DL architecture [61] by using Kaggle-ALZ and ADNI [62] datasets. In this study, a blockwise fine-tuning method is used on the ConvMixer model to effectively detect and optimize DL-based features.…”
