New methods tackle within-class variation in Alzheimer's detection

Researchers have developed new methods to address the significant within-class variation in Alzheimer's disease detection using machine learning. The proposed approaches, Soft Target Distillation (SoTD) and Instance-level Re-balancing (InRe), aim to model the varying degrees of cognitive impairment within individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Experiments on the ADReSS and CU-MARVEL datasets demonstrated that these methods improve detection performance and that the estimated scores correlate with independent cognitive assessments. AI

IMPACT Improves the accuracy of AI models used for medical diagnosis, potentially leading to earlier and more precise detection of diseases like Alzheimer's.

    On the Within-class Variation Issue in Alzheimer's Disease Detection

    arXiv:2409.16322v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) detection commonly employs machine learning classification models to distinguish between individuals with AD and those without. Different from conventional classification tasks, AD detection involv…
