Abstract
In recent years, number of classification techniques for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been developed that produced methods based on the use of hand-crafted machine learning and obscure deep learning models. This study proposed a new classification framework based on the combination of Unet-like 2D convolutional neural networks (CNN) and multinomial logistic regression classifier, which learns the intra-slice for multi-class classification after the selection of the 3D positron emission tomography (PET) image into a sequence of 2D slices. The CNNs are performed to generate the attention features of the brain while the logistic regression incorporated to learn those specifically localized features of various classes for AD classification. At the end of the network, we used a average pooling layer before the softmax for four-class classification problem. It can efficiently generate a flexible class of transformations and that can be trained end-to-end by back propagation. The results indicated that the proposed multi-instance learning (MIL) learns region of interest (ROI) itself and thus that could help to efficiently identify the precise patterns for AD. The proposed combined Unet-like CNN with multinomial regression classifier approach achieved highest accuracy of 97.9% and 96.7% on the classification of AD and MCI, respectively. It is much higher than the performances of the conventional methods in the literature.
