• Authors: Henry Musto, Daniel Stamate, Ida Pu, Daniel Stahl
• Abstract summary: This paper explores deterioration in Alzheimers Disease using Machine Learning. Six machine learning models, including gradient boosting, were built and evaluated. We were able to demonstrate good predictive ability using CART predicting which of those in the cognitively normal group deteriorated. For the mild cognitive impairment group, we were able to achieve good predictive ability for deterioration with Elastic Net.

• Abstract: This paper explores deterioration in Alzheimers Disease using Machine Learning. Subjects were split into two datasets based on baseline diagnosis (Cognitively Normal, Mild Cognitive Impairment), with outcome of deterioration at final visit (a binomial essentially yes/no categorisation) using data from the Alzheimers Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (demographics, genetics, CSF, imaging, and neuropsychological testing etc). Six machine learning models, including gradient boosting, were built, and evaluated on these datasets using a nested crossvalidation procedure, with the best performing models being put through repeated nested cross-validation at 100 iterations. We were able to demonstrate good predictive ability using CART predicting which of those in the cognitively normal group deteriorated and received a worse diagnosis (AUC = 0.88). For the mild cognitive impairment group, we were able to achieve good predictive ability for deterioration with Elastic Net (AUC = 0.76).

  This study delves into the challenging task of classifying Alzheimer's disease into four distinct groups: control normal (CN), progressive mild cognitive impairment (pMCI), stable mild cognitive impairment (sMCI), and Alzheimer's disease (AD) Several deep-learning and traditional machine-learning models have been used to detect Alzheimer's disease. The results show that using deep-learning models to tell the difference between MCI patients gives an overall average accuracy of 93.13% and an AUC of 94.4%.
