• Abstract: Alzheimer Disease poses a significant challenge, necessitating early detection for effective intervention. MRI is a key neuroimaging tool due to its ease of use and cost effectiveness. This study analyzes machine learning methods for MRI based biomarker selection and classification to distinguish between healthy controls and those who develop mild cognitive impairment within five years. Using 3 Tesla MRI data from ADNI and OASIS 3, we applied various machine learning techniques, including MATLAB Classification Learner app, nested cross validation, and Bayesian optimization. Data harmonization with polynomial regression improved performance. Consistent features identified were the entorhinal, hippocampus, lateral ventricle, and lateral orbitofrontal regions. For balanced ADNI data, Naive Bayes with z score harmonization performed best. For balanced OASIS 3, SVM with z score correction excelled. In imbalanced data, RUSBoost showed strong performance on ADNI and OASIS 3. Z score harmonization highlighted the potential of a semi automatic pipeline for early AD detection using MRI.

  Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder that often progresses from Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) We introduce GFE-Mamba, a classifier based on Generative Feature Extraction (GFE) It integrates data from assessment scales, MRI, and PET, enabling deeper multimodal fusion. Our experimental results demonstrate that the GFE-Mamba model is effective in predicting the conversion from MCI to AD.
