SummaryClassification of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from neuroimaging, like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) through deep learning classifier has been increasing in research in recent decades. However, it is required for enhancing the accuracy of the AD classification for effective treatment. In this work, an efficient model termed competitive swarm multi‐verse optimizer + deep neuro‐fuzzy network (CSMVO + DNFN) is designed to accurately classify stages of AD. Preprocessing is done with a median filter. Then, the resulting image is segmented to find the interested regions by channel‐wise feature pyramid network module (CFPNet‐M). Some features obtained from the segmented image are haralick, convolutional neural network, and texture features. The devised method is more efficient in classifying different stages of AD with MRI modality. Furthermore, the developed model attained higher performance using metrics like the accuracy of 89.9%, sensitivity of 89.6%, and specificity of 87.0% based on the k‐fold value.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
