Abstract

This research aims to determine the efficiency of learning models in the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. Early detection plays a vital role since the condition worsens as time goes on. We tested architectures like DenseNet121, InceptionNet, CNN, Attention based CNN and VGG19 using a dataset of medical images that clearly exhibited signs of Alzheimer’s disease. Our findings indicated that DenseNet121 outperformed the models mentioned achieving an accuracy of 81.07%. This suggests that it is more effective in capturing the patterns associated with the Alzheimer’s disease. Interestingly InceptionNet renowned for its optimization of depth and width also yielded results with an accuracy of 54.89%. The success of the attention-based CNN and VGG19 models, which both achieved an accuracy rate of 75% emphasizes the significance of incorporating attention mechanisms and depth in neural network architectures. Conversely the conventional CNN model displayed levels of accuracy with an average of 54.88%. This research significantly contributes to the field by showcasing how various deep learning models can effectively diagnose stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
