Abstract
AbstractEarly diagnosis of Alzheimer's is crucial to slow the progression of the disease. In this regard, there are many attempts to detect this disease at the early stages using AI techniques such as deep learning. We have proposed an explainable method to solve the early‐stage detection of Alzheimer's using transfer learning as a well‐known approach when there is not enough data. The employed transfer learning method is a combination of fine‐tuned ResNet‐50 and Inception‐V3 with Soft‐max and SVM classifiers using averaging. Moreover, local interpretable model‐agnostic explanations (LIME) are used to show the explainability of the proposed method. The AUC, accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity on structural MRI data of 100 MCI patients were 0.94, 87%, 92%, and 82%, respectively. Also, the LIME results were subjectively evaluated. The results showed the proposed method outperformed some related works. In addition, LIME technique make model more reliable to identify the parts involved in the patient's brain.
