“…In the literature, several studies have been proposed for both AD-NC classification and MCI-to-AD prediction tasks using an iterative sparse and DL model [26], for classifying subjects into AD, MCI and NC classes using stacked denoising auto-encoders, 3D-CNNs, support vector machines (SVM), random forests, decision trees, and k-nearest neighbor classifiers [27], for AD subject classification using the gene subset from the DNA methylation dataset and enhanced deep recurrent neural network [28], for AD-NC classification using cerebral catheter angiogram neuroimages and a combination of inception version 3 and densenet201 architectures [29], as well as utilizing dysregulation patterns of miRNA biomarkers for the prediction of AD [30]. They also proposed methods for the classification of frontotemporal dementia, AD and NC using the MRI neuroimaging modality and DL models [31], a novel dense CNN network to differentiate among stable and progressive MCI classes using hippocampal morphometry [32], a U-Net styled DL architecture for AD-NC classification task from retinal vasculature images [33], an explainable 3D residual attention deep neural network (DNN) for AD-NC and progressive MCI-static MCI classification tasks [34], a multi-modal data platform architecture to implement regression tasks and to predict the progression of AD [35], as well as transfer learning models such as LeNet, AlexNet, VGG-16, VGG-19, Inception-V1, Inception-V2, Inception-V3, DenseNet-121, etc., for binary classification between NC, MCI and AD classes [36]. Similarly, research has been done to propose a deep separable CNN model along with AlexNet and GoogLeNet transfer learning based models for AD early diagnosis [37], aggregation of CNN with a deep neural network model for AD-NC classification task [38], gait-based cognitive screening and machine learning to differentiate among AD, MCI and NC classes [39], a variant of CNN for AD, NC, MCI, early MCI and late MCI classification [40], as well as an end-to-end framework comprising of CNNs and MRI scans for AD-NC binary and for multiclass tasks [41].…”
