Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most prevalent cause of dementia, affects over 55 million individuals globally. With aging populations, AD cases are expected to increase substantially, presenting a pressing public health challenge. Early diagnosis is crucial but remains challenging, particularly in the mild cognitive impairment stage before extensive neurodegeneration. Existing diagnostic methods often fall short due to the subtle nature of early AD symptoms, highlighting the need for more accurate and efficient approaches. In response to this challenge, we introduce a hybrid framework to enhance the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) across four classes by integrating various deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) techniques on an MRI image dataset. We applied multiple preprocessing techniques to the MRI images. Then, the methodology employs three pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs): VGG-16, VGG-19, and MobileNet - each undergoing training under diverse parameter settings through transfer learning to facilitate the extraction of meaningful features from images, utilizing convolution and pooling layers. Subsequently, for feature selection, a decision tree-based RFE method was employed to iteratively select the most significant features and enable more accurate AD classification. Finally, an XGBoost classifier was used to classify the multiclass types of AD under 5-fold cross-validation to assess the performance of our proposed model. The proposed model achieved the highest accuracy of 93% for multiclass classification, indicating that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods. This model could apply to clinical applications, marking a significant advancement in AD diagnostics.
