• Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which is a neuro development disorder, is often accompanied by sensory issues such an over sensitivity or under sensitivity to sounds and smells or touch. Although its main cause is genetics in nature, early detection and treatment can help to improve the conditions. In recent years, machine learning based intelligent diagnosis has been evolved to complement the traditional clinical methods which can be time consuming and expensive. The focus of this paper is to find out the most significant traits and automate the diagnosis process using available classification techniques for improved diagnosis purpose. We have analyzed ASD datasets of Toddler, Child, Adolescent and Adult. We determine the best performing classifier for these binary datasets using the evaluation metrics recall, precision, F-measures and classification errors. Our finding shows that Sequential minimal optimization (SMO) based Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier outperforms all other benchmark machine learning algorithms in terms of accuracy during the detection of ASD cases and produces less classification errors compared to other algorithms. Also, we find that Relief Attributes algorithm is the best to identify the most significant attributes in ASD datasets.

  Alzheimer's Disease (AD) detection has emerged as a promising research area that employs machine learning classification models. We identify within-class variation as a critical challenge in AD detection: individuals with AD exhibit a spectrum of cognitive impairments. We propose two novel methods: Soft Target Distillation (SoTD) and Instance-level Re-balancing (InRe), targeting two problems respectively.

  Early diagnosis and intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been shown to significantly improve the quality of life of autistic individuals. There is a need for objective biomarkers of ASD which can help improve diagnostic accuracy. Deep learning (DL) has achieved outstanding performance in diagnosing diseases and conditions from medical imaging data. This research aims to improve the accuracy and interpretability of ASD diagnosis by creating a DL model that can not only accurately classify ASD but also provide explainable insights into its working.
