• Abstract: Dementia, a prevalent neurodegenerative condition, is a major manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As the condition progresses from mild to severe, it significantly impairs the individual's ability to perform daily tasks independently, necessitating the need for timely and accurate AD classification. Machine learning or deep learning models have emerged as effective tools for this purpose. In this study, we suggested an approach for classifying the four stages of dementia using RF, SVM, and CNN algorithms, augmented with watershed segmentation for feature extraction from MRI images. Our results reveal that SVM with watershed features achieves an impressive accuracy of 96.25%, surpassing other classification methods. The ADNI dataset is utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of our method, and we observed that the inclusion of watershed segmentation contributes to the enhanced performance of the models.

  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.
