The most noteworthy neurodegenerative disorder nationwide is apparently the Alzheimer's disease (AD) which ha no proven viable treatment till date and despite the clinical trials showing the potential of preclinical therapy, a sensitive method for evaluating the AD has to be developed yet. Due to the correlations between ocular and brain tissue, the eye (retinal blood vessels) has been investigated for predicting the AD. Hence, en enhanced method named Enhanced Long Short Term Memory (E-LSTM) has been proposed in this work which aims at finding the severity of AD from ocular biomarkers. To find the level of disease severity, the new layer named precise layer was introduced in E-LSTM which will help the doctors to provide the apt treatments for the patients rapidly. To avoid the problem of overfitting, a dropout has been added to LSTM. In the existing work, boundary detection of retinal layers was found to be inaccurate during the segmentation process of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) image and to overcome this issue; Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been utilized. To the best of our understanding, this is the first paper to use Particle Swarm Optimization. When compared with the existing works, the proposed work is found to be performing better in terms of F1 Score, Precision, Recall, training loss, and segmentation accuracy and it is found that the prediction accuracy was increased to 10% higher than the existing systems.
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.
