Title
A Parallel Machine Learning Framework for Detecting Alzheimer's Disease
Abstract
This paper proposes a parallel machine learning framework for detecting Alzheimer's disease through T1-weighted MRI scans localised to the hippocampus, segmented between the left and right hippocampi. Feature extraction is first performed by 2 separately trained, unsupervised learning based AutoEncoders, where the left and right hippocampi are fed into their respective AutoEncoder. Classification is then performed by a pair of classifiers on the encoded data from the AutoEncoders, to which each pair of the classifiers are aggregated together using a soft voting ensemble process. The best averaged aggregated model results recorded was with the Gaussian Naive Bayes classifier where sensitivity/specificity achieved were 80%/81% respectively and a balanced accuracy score of 80%.
